BSO was the first to report that Cesar “El Abuser” Peralta had David Ortiz shot in the Dominican Republic. It was unclear if the shooter wanted to kill him or injure him because he had a point-blank shot and decided to shoot Ortiz in the back instead of the head.
Ortiz wanted to know for sure if the Kingpin had him shot and hired his own investigator who confirmed what BSO reported.
That El Abuser ordered the hit after years of disrespect from Ortiz according to Boston Globe.
A Dominican drug trafficker who was jealous of David Ortiz and felt disrespected by him had him shot at a Dominican nightclub in 2019, according to the private investigators the former Red Sox slugger hired to look into the attack that nearly killed him.
Davis and Prado allege that Peralta’s motive for the Ortiz shooting likely was a buildup of perceived slights and jealousies.
But the more Peralta watched Ortiz become the center of attention at his clubs, Prado said, the more jealous he became of Ortiz’s celebrity.
Ortiz and Peralta also lived for a time in the same luxury condominium building in Santo Domingo, the Naco Blue Tower, Ortiz one floor below Peralta. Ortiz moved into the tower before Peralta and said he moved out “because it was too obvious there were a lot of weird-looking people going into the building, and I wasn’t feeling comfortable.”
Ortiz said he once politely complained to Peralta about a loud late-night party, but he did not believe Peralta was offended. Prado, however, said Peralta may have taken it as an insult.
What’s more, Prado said, the building came to be known on the streets as “the Big Papi Tower,” which may have further rankled Peralta. At 5 feet 5 inches, Peralta stands nearly a foot shorter than Ortiz.
There was speculation, too, that Ortiz was romantically involved with Peralta’s wife or girlfriend.
A purported copy of a bank check appeared online suggesting Ortiz paid $84,500 to buy a woman a new Lexus the day before he was shot.
Peralta could have been angered simply by other women in his circle appearing fond of Ortiz.
“Even if there was no affair, just the fact that one of Peralta’s women was attracted to David or was flirting with him, that could be seen by Peralta as an affront,” Prado said.
Once again, these were all things originally reported by BSO and now have been confirmed.
Peralta is sitting in a US jail, so he isn’t an immediate threat to Ortiz, but that could change at any time.
Flip the pages for the woman that Ortiz was allegedly having an affair with that got him popped and docs on the Lexus he bought her.
