Update: NBC 7 San Diego is sad to report Hector Villaseñor, 72, of Chula Vista, passed away from COVID-19 on Jan. 8 following a trip to Mexcio to visit his brother, who was dying from cancer. More on his story here.
A Chula Vista family's trip to Mexico to visit a dying relative took an unfortunate turn when several of them, including their 72-year-old grandfather, contracted COVID-19.
“It's very hard because as much as I can look my dad in the eyes and say that, you know, it's not worth it, it's not worth it for you to go, I can't ever convince him to not go see his brother who's on his last days," said Jerry Villaseñor.
