David Ortiz shooting was reportedly arranged using an iPhone

Shortly before retired baseball star David Ortiz was shot in the Dominican Republic on June 9, the man who has been charged with convening the hit squad received a gold iPhone with a photo of "the person they were going to liquidate," The Boston Globe reported last week, citing court documents. Following the shooting the man, Gabriel Alexander Perez Vizcaino, got rid of the phone by selling it to a woman in East Santo Domingo for 9,000 pesos (about $470), claiming it had "problems."

Ten people have been indicted for their parts in the intended assassination, which was unsuccessful. Ortiz is recovering in a Boston-area hospital.
