One of eight people recently shot outside a popular restaurant in Puerto Rico's capital has died.

The father of Adolph Wolfgang Siemon Otero says on social media that his son died on Wednesday. Police had said Siemon was recently released on bond after being arrested on federal drug charges.

The shooting occurred early Monday near El Rex in San Juan's Santurce neighbourhood. It is a popular hangout that gets especially crowded on Wednesday and Sunday nights. Businesses in the area were hosting an outdoors festival to celebrate the holidays when the shooting occurred.

No one has been arrested.
