OXNARD, Calif. — A 29-year-old California soccer player has died 15 days after a huge fight broke out during a game after two teams disagreed with a call made by the referee.
The incident occurred on Sunday, July 10, when the Oxnard Police Department in California received a call to be dispatched to Oxnard High School after receiving reports of a large fight taking place on a soccer field at approximately 11 a.m., police say.
“Officers spoke to witnesses and learned the fight was between two adult soccer teams,” the statement read. “The fight occurred when the two teams disagreed with a referee’s decision. Sanchez was on the field playing soccer for one of the two teams when the fight broke out. During the fight, Sanchez was assaulted by multiple assailants.”
An autopsy is scheduled to take place on Tuesday by the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office to determine Sanchez’ cause of death. It is unclear if Melgara had a role in the attack or if he is still detained by authorities but the Ventura County Police Department confirmed that he had been taken in for questioning regarding the assault, according to their statement.
