According to social media reports, Lucas Trejo's wife, Yani Maranella and his two children, Aaron and Ainoha, had a shocking death. Reportedly, Yanina was at home in La Guaira with her little ones, Aaron and Ainhoa, when two massive earthquakes slammed Venezuela on June 24, 2026. Their building collapsed on top of them. The helpless footballer had reportedly taken to social media to appeal to netizens for help in finding his beloved family.
Argentine footballer Lucas Trejo was nowhere near his family members when the earthquake hit Venezuela. He had clung to the hope that his missing family members might have survived the disaster. However, when he heard that their building had collapsed during the tremors, all his hopes for his family came crashing down. Lucas was on club duties when the earthquake happened.
Lucas, a 38-year-old defender, was with Club Sport Marítimo de La Guaira when he learned that he had lost his family and his building had turned into rubble. Earlier, the International Organisation for Migration stated that more than 6 million people were affected by the earthquake in Venezuela. 2 million people were reportedly affected in Caracas, and the scale of destruction was reportedly the worst seen in recent centuries. Small aftershocks continued for days, shaking Caracas and the affected areas.
