LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KRON) — KRON4 has confirmed that a San Francisco 49ers fan is in a medically induced coma after an apparent beating outside SoFi Stadium during Sunday’s NFC Championship.
The Los Angeles Times was the first to report that the victim is Daniel Luna, a restaurant owner from Oakland. His restaurant Mistura is temporarily closed, according to the website.
Luna was found around 4:05 p.m. in the stadium’s parking lot, according to Inglewood Police Lt. Geoffrey Meeks. He was then taken to Harbor UCLA Medical Center, according to police.
Emergency room staff assessed Luna and determined he was a victim of assault. Officials said it was not a robbery, as Luna still had his wallet, phone and other personal items on him when he was rushed to the hospital.
SoFi Stadium released a statement saying, “We are aware and saddened by the incident. Our thoughts are with Mr. Luna’s friends and family during this difficult time. We are working with law enforcement officials in their investigation.”
Inglewood police have an open assault investigation into the incident and are currently working closely with SoFi Stadium security.
Detectives believe Luna was wearing a San Francisco 49ers jersey and black pants during the assault.
