LULAC Demands An Investigation Into the Videotaped Public Attack of A Latino Man Outside a Store That Leaves Him in a Coma
Nation’s Largest and Oldest Latino Civil Rights Organization Is Outraged After Police in Trinity, Texas Near Houston Call the Beating of 42-Year-old Man a “Simple Assault”
A 42-year-old Latino identified as David Gonzales Reyes is clinging to life and remains in a coma in intensive care in a Houston area hospital three weeks after suffering brain injuries during what witnesses say was an unprovoked assault outside a convenience store. The attack happened in broad daylight and was caught on surveillance video on Saturday, July 30, 2022, in Trinity, Texas. The community of 13,800 residents is located 100 miles north of Houston and is 87.7% white according to the 2021 update from the U.S. Census, with only 12% Latino. Reyes has been a longtime resident of the community where he works as a welder and in construction. Police say Reyes did not strike back at the attacker but still classified the incident as a “simple assault.”
