The encounter escalated when Lucas and Rocío intervened in a fight involving their daughter's friend and a group of young people. As Lucas tried to de-escalate the situation, Rocío witnessed the brutal assault that led to his death, describing it as akin to 'killing a piece of meat.'
The incident occurred on a Sunday night when Rocío and Lucas were outside the Batán nightclub, where they became concerned about their daughter potentially being involved in the violence.

The brutal nature of the assault and the refusal of witnesses to intervene add a disturbing dimension to this already tragic story, accentuating the need for greater awareness and responsibility in societal interactions, particularly in moments of crisis.
