A 49ers fan made the trip to L.A. only to be assaulted in the parking lot, and we now know that it was Daniel Luna, who owns a Peruvian restaurant in Oakland and is currently in a medically induced coma.  

If this is what it appears to be, then it’s a terrible look for the Rams, the city of Los Angeles, and SoFi Stadium as they prepare for the international spotlight of hosting the Super Bowl.  NBC Bay Area reports that a 49ers fan was thoroughly assaulted at Sunday’s 49ers-Rams game in the parking lot of Inglewood’s SoFi stadium. Police have identified him as 40-year-old Daniel Luna of Moraga, who also happens to be the chef and owner at Oakland's Piedmont Avenue Peruvian restaurant Mistura.

Update: A GoFundMe for Luna's medical bills has been established by Los Angeles based philanthropist Brigitte Poublon, co-founder of the Brigitte & Bobby Sherman Foundation.

Mistura’s website now has a message that they’re “temporarily closed but will be back soon.” We don’t have much word on Luna’s current condition, just that according to NBC Bay Area, “Luna was rushed to an emergency room at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Southern California and eventually placed into a medically-induced coma.” KGO adds that he “suffered numerous injuries to his upper body.”

We should stress that police have not determined whether the attack was related to any rivalry or fan dispute, though they say Luna was wearing a 49ers jersey. The L.A. County Fire Department received a call about a man injured at around 4:05 p.m Sunday (he didn't even get to watch the game!), and police say they have no suspects or known motive at this time. Luna’s wallet, watch, and phone were still on him, and he does not appear to have been robbed. Police say they're reviewing security video from the parking lot.

KTVU learned more about Daniel Luna, who lives in Moraga and runs the restaurant with his wife. Customers say he is not a "sports-fanatic type" who would seemingly get into a brawl over a game.

This obviously has shades of the 2011 attack on Bryan Stow, a Giants fan who was also placed in a medically induced coma after two Dodgers fans assaulted him and permanently disabled him. A jury slapped the Dodgers organization with an $18 million penalty for negligence in that case. There may be similarities here, but that concern is for later, as Daniel Luna’s condition is the primary concern right now.
