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.

Phil Shuman should have his natural born citizenship revoked for his atrocious writing.
Another poster child for Pelosi’s DACA parade.
Did he do the Wilhelm scream?
Bull$hit
Playing the fear card.....fail, Demtard idiots.
The people who eat up this propaganda probably like the “style” of the writing here.
We should alleviate their fear by repatriating them.
Actually Jerry Brown killed him. CA gives illegals driver licenses. Without that he would not have been driving. Brown killed him.
Winning!
Make America Great Again.
Isn't his mother an illegal too? Why isn't she being shipped back home?
Excellent
Self-deportation is the most cost-effective solution.
Darwin theory?
Everyday I hear about illegals crashing into cars and having NO insurance, the cops just let them go because they are illegal. This guy had nothing to fear here, in Cali you can kill someone but as long as you are illegal you walk scott free
“Rational or not. Justified or not. It’s there.”
They SHOULD be scared. Do it the right and legal way or GTFO!
Self-deportation can take many forms. I’d prefer other kinds, but they all work. I believe in this kind of individual “choice” and right to privacy.
What was Trippy worried about? He lives in a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state. He’s protected.
......”he came,as an undocumented immigrant to this country as a young boy.”.....
So at 40 yrs’ old what was he doing about obtaining citizenship for all those years?????
