Kevin Mares, a 25-year-old tourist from New York, was fatally shot early Sunday in La Perla, a popular seaside shantytown in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Mares had traveled to Puerto Rico to attend one of Bad Bunny's 30 concert residency shows. Authorities have described him as an innocent bystander at the time of the shooting. The incident occurred during the predawn hours at a nightspot in La Perla. Mares was visiting the island with three friends who informed police of their purpose for the trip. His family in Queens is mourning his death, remembering him as a beloved son and friend. The shooting has drawn attention due to Mares' status as a U.S. tourist attending a major cultural event in Puerto Rico.
