Juan Uribe was questioned and released Tuesday but remains a suspect in the shooting of two men in the Dominican Republic.
Uribe said he was in another city altogether at the time of the shooting, but Antonio Gonzalez Perez, one of the men who was shot, said he clearly saw Uribe and got into an argument with him before seeing the player pull out a gun and fire. Gonzalez has already filed a civil suit against Uribe. While an arrest warrant issued Monday for Uribe was voided, he had to turn over his gun to police and he's scheduled to appear back at the courthouse later this week. As Uribe was leaving the courthouse today, he pushed away a Univision camera and shoved an ESPN cameraman in the face. Oct. 17 - 3:46 pm et
