Homicide Det. Sgt. Arnaldo Ruiz said Kevin Mares, 25, was an innocent bystander who was visiting Puerto Rico to attend a Bad Bunny concert.
A New York man who was visiting Puerto Rico to attend a Bad Bunny concert was fatally shot on Sunday at a popular nightspot in La Perla, according to police.
The victim was identified as 25-year-old Kevin Mares, police said.
Homicide Det. Sgt. Arnaldo Ruiz said that the shooting in the coastal community took place after several people near Mares began arguing and one pulled out a gun and shot at least three people, including Mares.
Two other people, both locals of La Perla, were injured and remain in the hospital.
Ruiz said Mares was an innocent bystander. He was there with three other friends who told police they were visiting Puerto Rico for one of Bad Bunny’s 30 concerts as part of his residency, titled No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí. The residency is being held at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, in San Juan’s Hato Rey neighbourhood.
Mares was shot on the left side of his abdomen and was taken to a local hospital, where he later died, according to authorities.
Ruiz added that police don’t know what the people were arguing about and don’t currently have a description of the shooter.
Mares’ mother, Sandra Mares, told ABC News that her son was walking across the street when people started arguing and she claimed a person pulled out a gun and started shooting.
