Former Boston Red Sox star David 'Big Papi' Ortiz is in a stable condition after being shot in the back at near point-blank range in the Dominican Republic.
Ortiz, a three-time World Series champion during his career with the Red Sox, was shot at the Dial Bar and Lounge at around 8.50pm on Sunday in his hometown of Santo Domingo, where he lives for part of the year. His other home is in Miami.
Surveillance footage that has since emerged shows the shooter getting off the back of a motorcycle and shooting the 43-year-old sports star while he dined with television presenter Jhoel Lopez. Lopez was also injured.
An angry crowd then chased down the gunman, beat him and held him until cops arrived.

He has been identified as Eddy Feliz Garcia. It remains unclear how he knows Ortiz or what the motive for the shooting was. Police have ruled out initial reports that it was an attempted robbery.
Ortiz was rushed into surgery at the Abel Gonzolez Clinic.
Before he was operated on, he told doctors: 'Please don't let me die, I'm a good man.'
