Body camera footage shows police officers finding wounded El Taiger after shooting

MIAMI – The State Attorney’s office has released more evidence in the murder case of Cuban Reggaeton Rapper El Taiger.

Police body camera video shows the moment officers found him, still alive, inside the trunk of his SUV down the street from Jackson Memorial Hospital.

The 37-year-old, whose real name is Jose Carvajal Saldivar, had been shot in the head.

Detectives believe he was dumped in the Mercedes SUV before the vehicle was abandoned just a short walk away from the hospital.

Back in December, authorities released surveillance video showing who police say was El Taiger just hours earlier, walking up to his suspected murderer’s home in Hialeah.

Moments later, a wounded El Taiger was seen being dragged away.

Another piece of video shows who might have been a possible accomplice.

The beloved rapper who had fans showing up outside of JMH hoping for a miracle died days after he was shot.

The suspect, 50-year-old Damian Valdez Galloso, who is a convicted felon, was arrested in New York.

He is charged with first degree murder in El Tairger’s death.

Valdez-Galloso is still being held without bond. His attorney entered a plea of not guilty.
