The English version sounds a lot worse than the actual article written in Spanish. While one of the two were caught on video with a firearm it doesn't sound like they are suspected of taking part in the shooting. The police just want their versions of what happened in the nightclub.
If it's Beltre, the real tragedy is that even if he's convicted and incarcerated for life, ending his baseball career, the Rangers still win the Eric Gagne trade.
According to a report from Dominican newspaper El Caribe, Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro has been arrested after a nightclub shooting that left six people injured. Castro's arrest comes three weeks after his agent said he had been cleared of involvement in a previous Dominican nightclub shooting.
The incident occurred early Saturday morning at Ocean Club, a nightclub in the Dominican coastal town of Montecristi, where Castro was born. The fracas reportedly involved Castro's brother and bodyguards, as well as a group of men including the driver and assistant to Montecristi's mayor:
According to reports, Castro's bodyguards stripped [the assistant] of a 12-gauge shotgun, which was recovered by police in the bushes next to the nightclub.
Including Castro, seven people in total were detained by police.

So, if I'm reading this right... and I can't imagine I am.... he got cleared of charges on the first attack, and then managed to get into an armed altercation with the assistant to the city's mayor?
WTF, indeed.
Was his brother involved in the first shooting? If so, Starlin might want to think about trading him in for a better, less felonious model.

Could Castro simply be doing his best to get out of his Cubs contract now that Addison Russell is ready to supplant him?

he also needs better bodyguards, or rather real bodyguards instead of an entourage of droogs
