Tourist tragically killed while visiting Puerto Rico for Bad Bunny concert
A New York tourist has been killed while visiting Puerto Rico for a Bad Bunny concert
Kevin Mares, 25, was fatally shot in La Perla, a shantytown along the coast near Old San Juan, early Sunday while visiting the island for Bad Bunny's concert residency.
Police told the Associated Press that Mares was next to a fight which broke out at a local bar called 'Shelter for Mistreated Men.'
One man involved allegedly pulled a gun and opened fire, striking at least three people.
Mares was hit in the left side of his abdomen and rushed to the island's largest public hospital.
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Two local men from La Perla were also injured and remain hospitalized.
'We're still in the early stages of establishing a motive,' homicide detective Sgt. Arnaldo Ruiz told local media, according to El Nuevo Dia. 'We can't rule anything out until the interviews are completed.'
Ruiz said Mares had flown to Puerto Rico with three friends from New York for one of Bad Bunny's 30 sold-out shows.
His latest Instagram stories shows recent videos from his hotel room and the concert.
His girlfriend shared various footage from their evening up until her final, devastating post.
Her latest post is a heartbreaking tribute reading: 'I love you my angel.'
