El Taiger was found shot in the head in a Mercedes-Benz near the hospital on October 3, and authorities believe he was shot elsewhere before being brought to the location. Two red gas cans were found in the trunk of the vehicle. The singer had been in critical condition after undergoing surgery, according to Miami Police Chief Manuel A. Morales.
Over the summer, El Taiger faced legal troubles, including charges for strong-arm robbery, battery, and resisting an officer, for which he pleaded not guilty.
Known for his music, El Taiger released several singles and EPs throughout his career, with his most recent release being the song "Bonita" in May. The investigation into his death is ongoing.
