Hi my name is Natalia, one of the daughters of Aureo Duque.
On the morning of December 22nd, 2021 my dad was working on the Plaza Paseo Real shopping center in Carlsbad, CA when a man approached him and started assaulting him. He is currently in a coma with severe brain injuries in the ICU fighting for his life. Aureo is a hardworking family man who wanted nothing more than to provide for his family and be with his grandkids. My family and I appreciate all the support you can give. Thank you very much.
