Kevin Mares, a dedicated fan of Bad Bunny who traveled to Puerto Rico to see the artist, tragically lost his life after being shot and killed. According to Kevin’s mother, Sandra, her son was shot early in the morning at a pool party in La Perla, PR.
Kevin, a massive Bad Bunny fan, had planned this trip with his girlfriend and friends a year ago, all excited to attend the show on Sunday. However, they have decided not to go to the concert following the tragic incident.
Sandra revealed that Kevin had sent her a video from the pool party and the view from his hotel room, showing that he was enjoying his time in the country. Reports indicate that Kevin was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire during an argument between two individuals, leading to the fatal shooting. He sustained gunshot wounds to his abdomen and side, and the shooter is still at large as the police investigate the case.
Described as a loving and dedicated family man, Kevin enjoyed gardening, cooking, and was pursuing studies to become a veterinarian at LaGuardia Community College in New York City.
Sandra expressed her hope that Bad Bunny would pay tribute to Kevin during the concert, and a GoFundMe page has been set up to bring Kevin’s body back to the United States.
Kevin Mares was just 25 years old. May he rest in peace.
