- Kevin Mares, a 25-year-old from New York, was shot in the abdomen early Sunday while visiting Puerto Rico for a Bad Bunny concert residency.
- The gunfire erupted at a La Perla nightspot known as Shelter for Mistreated Men during a predawn argument that prompted at least three victims.
- Two local residents were also wounded and remain hospitalized at Puerto Rico’s largest public medical center.
