Jose “El Taiger” Carbajal is fighting for his life in a Miami hospital after being found shot in the head in the back of a Mercedes-Benz in the city’s Allapattah neighborhood. The Reggaeton star, aged 37, remains in critical condition after undergoing surgery, according to Miami Police Chief Manuel A. Morales. The investigation into the brutal crime is ongoing.
Authorities suspect that Jose may have been shot elsewhere and then driven to the location where he was found, just blocks from Jackson Memorial Health Hospital. In addition to the blood-stained crime scene inside the car, police discovered 2 red gas containers in the trunk for reasons unknown.
According to Miami-Dade County court records, Jose had two criminal cases opened over the summer, one for strong-arm robbery and battery, and another for misdemeanor resisting an officer. The musician pleaded not guilty to both charges and was out on bail at the time of the shooting.
The incident has shocked fans and the music industry, with many sending their thoughts and prayers to Jose for a speedy recovery. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
