Lucas Trejo, a footballer, is reported to be in Caracas preparing for a match when earthquakes strike Venezuela. After the family is reported missing, authorities and rescue teams carry out a search lasting about 74 hours through the rubble of the couple’s apartment building. The search ends with confirmation that Trejo’s wife and their two children have died, according to multiple outlets.
The reports place the incident within the broader aftermath of the earthquakes, which authorities describe as causing widespread damage and casualties across Venezuela. One outlet cites that more than 1,400 people die and thousands more are missing, reflecting the scale of the disaster and the continued difficulty of rescue and recovery efforts.
While the outlets focus on the family’s death and the length of the search, they do not provide consistent additional details about the footballer’s club, the specific location of the apartment, or the circumstances leading to the family becoming trapped, beyond the earthquake impact and the subsequent rubble search.
