<p>The 29-year-old, one of Latin America's most prolific goal scorers and expected to help spearhead Paraguay's attack at this year's World Cup, was possibly involved in a fight before the predawn shooting, Mexico City's top prosecutor said. <br /><br />"The bullet entered the front of his head and did not exit," Miguel Angel Mancera told Mexican television. <br /><br />Doctors who operated on Cabanas said he was in stable but critical condition. <br />"The bullet was not removed. We would do more harm trying to take it out and it won't do any harm where it ended up," Dr Ernesto Martinez told reporters. <br /><br />Cabanas plays for Mexican club side America and was his country's top scorer in the South American World Cup qualifying section with six goals. <br /><br />The shooting occurred around 5 am in the bathroom of a bar in an upscale neighborhood in crime-plagued Mexico City. "He went into the bathroom and his wife went to the women's bathroom. She heard a noise two or three minutes later and went out. Salvador was already on the floor," Michel Bauer, the president of America, told Mexican television. <br /><br />Police were looking for a man who regularly frequented the bar along with his bodyguard, both of them caught on a surveillance camera, Mancera later told reporters. <br /><br />Mexican President Felipe Calderon condemned the shooting and offered Mexico City authorities federal help investigating the crime.<br /></p>
