ORIGINAL REPORT, May 18: EL PASO, Texas -- A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and mixed martial arts coach was hospitalized in intensive care after being attacked and severely beaten outside an east El Paso bar, police confirmed Tuesday.
A photograph of Jose Campuzano in his hospital bed was posted to social media by the group Fit Fam El Paso. (See that post at the end of this article.) In addition, a video of the attack was also posted, which you can watch in the video player at the top of this article.
The El Paso police gang unit was investigating the assault on Campuzano by a group outside of the bar EPTX, located along George Dieter, on Sunday.
"According to witnesses, he appeared intoxicated and stumbled out of the bar and into an individual who commenced beating on him. Others then jumped in on the beating," a police spokesman told ABC-7.
Fit Fam indicated Campuzano "was found unresponsive after being repeatedly stomped, and is currently intubated and fighting for his life in the ICU."
His family told ABC-7 he was listed in critical but stable condition on Tuesday as they wondered what "type of animals" could have attacked and continued beating on him, as the video shows, even after he was lying on the ground unconscious.
No arrests had yet been made in the attack as of Tuesday evening.
Campuzano's family and friends set up a GoFundMe account to fund his medical expenses. You can donate by clicking here.
