Cuban artist El Taiger, whose real name is José Manuel Carbajal Zaldívar, is in critical condition after being shot in the head in Miami. The incident occurred on the morning of October 3, 2024. Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales stated that officers responded to a call at approximately 7 a.m. and found El Taiger inside a black vehicle, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was immediately transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s trauma center, where he underwent surgery and remains in serious condition.

El Taiger, 37, is widely known for his Cuban urban sound, with popular tracks like “La Historia,” “El Papelito,” and “Habla Matador.” His career took off with the release of his debut album Taiger in 2016 under Puerto Rican artist Cosculluela’s label. His music was also featured on the Fate of the Furious soundtrack in 2017.

As the investigation into the shooting is in its early stages, Chief Morales declined to provide further details but noted the gravity of the incident. Fellow artists, including Gente de Zona and Jacob Forever, have shared heartfelt messages on social media, offering prayers and expressing shock at the tragedy. Authorities have yet to identify a suspect, but Morales expressed confidence that the case will be resolved.

The news has shaken the Miami community and the Latin music world, as fans and friends await updates on El Taiger’s recovery.
