His mother, Ana Jackeline, shared a video to social media which has since been reposted, revealing she cannot travel from their native Colombia to Mexico.

‘I ask and beg for justice for my son, to help me,’ she said. ‘I have not been able to go see him since I am a low-income mother who needs to see her son.

‘He went with a dream five years ago to become a professional footballer. 

‘There he doesn’t have family, he only has friends. I ask the Mexican justice system and that of my country to listen to me, I need to leave the country to look for my son.’

Per the Herlado Estado De Mexico, Salas’ teammates are also hell bent on seeing the assailants punished. 

‘We ask and demand justice so that the players of the [opposing] team involved as well as the owner of the team are arrested and the expenses incurred due to such an event are covered, since at this moment Salas is debating between life and death.’
