His family says he was so petrified of being deported that a minor traffic accident sent him to suicide.
We may never know for certain.
Now they are mourning his loss and getting out the message of what they say living in fear can do to a person.
His friends called him 'Trippy', his name was Luis Castenada, a 40-year-old father of two originally from Guatemala. The story is he came, one of eight kids, as an undocumented immigrant to this country as a young boy.
His story ended this past Friday night in the San Fernando Valley when he took his own life. His mother says it was because of one thing, the fear of being deported to a country he never really knew.
It's also possible he had other issues we just don’t know about. I can tell you the pastor of a North Hills church with a large Latino congregation, who helped Luis's mother get her story out, says the fear created by the Trump administration in the immigrant community is very real and tangible , and felt by many. Rational or not. Justified or not. It's there.

Deport the mother, the father and all 7 of their other children.
Kate Steinle.
We will not forget.
No matter how many illegal friendly stories are pushed.
Kathleen Hufford. Beheaded at her job in Oklahoma by a muzzie. We will not forget.
Thousands of dead Americans, all due to open borders democrats who live in gated, protected, highbrow estates, safe from harm.
One less burden on taxpayers.
Sounds like he has 7 siblings here, too. What are the odds that they all became legalized citizens? Maybe they are afraid too, and should go back to Guatemala?
You cannot be a recipient of a Darwin Award if you procreate. Article said he had sprog. Also, all Darwin Awards are posthumous. It's kinda the point. :-)
Emerging Latino version of:
“They tore of my hijab..!!!”
The guy was an illegal. The guy committed suicide.
BECOMES:
“He killed himself over deportation fears, whitey baaaaad..!!”
I’m sure these lawless illegals “know” there is a “legal” way for them to be in this country. No sympathy from me.
He could have simply returned home.....
Politicians. R is less a defense, if it ever really was.
Bullsh!t.
I bet the NORKs don’t have this problem.
Self-deported ... with extreme prejudice.
ILLEGAL! Look it up.
He self-deported to Hell.
A lot of callous comments on this thread. You can oppose illegal immigration and also have some compassion for illegal aliens.
Non-illegal aliens also commit suicide. It’s a choice.
620,000 crimes committed in Texas by illegals in the past 10 years, over 1200 Texans killed. We are sick of it.
So the thrust of this story is we should commit national suicide by having open borders to prevent illegal immigrants from committing suicide because we don’t have open borders. Next story, please
Why live in fear? Just go home.
