According to Alexandria's Instagram, she is attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

The photos are the first time the public has seen Ortiz since he was shot in his native Dominican Republic on June 9. The Red Sox arranged for Ortiz to be brought to Boston for follow-up treatment. He was released from the hospital on July 27 and posted his first comments since the incident on Instagram two days later.

Ortiz recently hired former Boston police commissioner Ed Davis to investigate the shooting.
