Overview
- Rescuers recovered the bodies of Yanina Maranella and her children Aarón and Ainhoa after more than 70 hours of search in the collapsed Playa Grande building.
- Trejo, who was in Caracas with his club for Copa Venezuela, returned to La Guaira and joined volunteers and emergency crews in the hands-on search for his family.
- The first public confirmation came from player Edson Tortolero on Instagram and was later formalized by statements from Deportivo La Guaira and Club Sport Marítimo de La Guaira.
- Search operations were hampered by widespread power and communications outages and limited heavy machinery, forcing relatives and teammates to assist directly in debris removal.
- The June 24 tremors, reported near magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5, caused multiple building collapses and fatalities in La Guaira and have left communities facing ongoing rescue and recovery needs.
