Luis Alfredo Rivas-Clase, one of the men who allegedly plotted to kill former Boston Red Sox great David Ortiz in 2019, was shot and killed Sunday in Puerto Rico, per WCVB's Nathalie Pozo.

TMZ Sports reportedย Rivas-Clase was shot and killed outside a shopping center. His assailants allegedly chased him in a car and killed him as he attempted to flee the area.ย 

Rivas-Clase was one of several men who were implicated in the 2019 attempted murder of Ortiz, who suffered severe injuries and spent six weeks in a hospital after being shot several times at anย East Santo Domingo bar.ย  He has since made a full recovery. Dominican police have arrested most of the suspects in the case, but Rivas-Clase was one of the final men implicated still at large.

It is not known whether Rivas-Clase's death is related to the Ortiz shooting.ย
