From nbcnews.com:
A Hialeah man is wanted for questioning in connection with the shooting of Cuban reggaeton star El Taiger in Miami last week.
Damien Valdez-Galloso, 49, is being sought for questioning in Thursday's shooting, Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said Monday.
"We definitely know that he has some information that we need in reference to the ongoing investigation," Morales told reporters.
The singer, whose real name is José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar, was brought to Jackson Memorial Hospital Thursday with a gunshot wound and had initially been in extremely critical condition.
The 37-year-old had been found unresponsive in the back of an SUV near Northwest 9th Avenue and 17th Street.
Morales said the singer remained in very serious but stable condition on Monday.
The chief also confirmed that it was a criminal investigation and that it was not a suicide attempt, as some have reported.
Morales said detectives have been working non-stop on the case and are following up on all leads.
"We are not certain if there's any other individuals that are related to the investigation that might be out there," Morales said. "But for now we need to speak to this gentleman today so if the public can help us out it will definitely help this investigation."

Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Valdez-Galloso is still being sought for questioning as of today’s posting date (October 10th, 2024), since most articles are from the past few days. I am also placing this case in the national media section since there has been some national publication media as well due to El Taiger being a famous reggaeton star.
Update: Sadly, Jose Manuel Carbajal Zaldivar aka El Taiger has passed away. Valdez-Galloso, who is also a registered sex offender, was still being sought for questioning at least as of October 11th,2024
