NY Tourist Killed Amid La Perla Concert Violence

Kevin Mares, a 25-year-old New York tourist, was fatally shot as an innocent bystander early Sunday morning at the 'Shelter for Mistreated Men' nightspot in La Perla, San Juan, while visiting for Bad Bunny’s concert residency. The shooting began after an argument when one individual opened fire, injuring Mares and two local residents, who remain hospitalized. Mares was shot in the abdomen and died at Puerto Rico's largest hospital. Authorities have limited information about the shooter or motive, and no suspects have been identified. Despite increased tourism and previous law enforcement efforts, La Perla continues to see sporadic violence. Mares’ death has renewed attention to safety concerns in the area as his loved ones mourn his loss.
