Jose “El Taiger” Carbajal is clinging to life in a Miami hospital … days after the Reggaeton star was found shot in the head, in the back of a Mercedes-Benz in the city’s Allapattah neighborhood.
Miami Police Chief Manuel A. Morales gave an update Friday … telling media that the 37-year-old remains in “very” critical condition after undergoing surgery … and their investigation is ongoing into the brutal crime.
Authorities suspect Jose may have been shot elsewhere and then driven to that location and ditched … just blocks from nearby Jackson Memorial Health Hospital.
In addition to the blood-soaked crime scene inside the car … police inexplicably found 2 red gas containers in the trunk, per authorities.
According to Miami-Dade County court records cited by local news … the musician had 2 criminal cases opened over the summer … one for strong-arm robbery and battery, and another for misdemeanor resisting an officer.
Jose pleaded not guilty to both … and was out on bail.
