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 an East Santo Domingo bar. 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.
