UFC fighter, Taveras survives drive-by shooting

UFC fighter Ramon Taveras says a “group of armed men” tried to shoot him outside his mother’s house in Duval, Florida.

Taveras, 30, released doorbell footage of the incident on 29 July, which shows a car driving by and opening fire as he left the house.

The American, who was born and raised in Jacksonville, lost his brother to gun violence in 2019.

“His killers are yet to be caught. Now I find myself almost in the same situation,” Taveras wrote on Instagram.

“My family feels unsafe and I fear for my children, who nearly lost their father, the person striving to change their lives.

“It is tragic that I have so much love for my city, yet I am compelled to leave.”
