Hijo de Fishman was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the death of referee Gerardo Germán Pineda, known in the ring as El Búho, according to Fightful.
The incident stemmed from a July 11 match in which Fishman attacked El Búho with a weapon, leaving the referee unconscious, Fightful reported. Fishman has since been charged with manslaughter in connection with El Búho’s death.
El Patrón Lucha Libre, the promotion where the incident occurred, issued a statement addressing both the arrest of Hijo de Fishman and the death of El Búho, though specific details of that statement were not included in the available report.
No further details on the legal proceedings, including a possible court date or formal charges beyond manslaughter, have been made public at this time.
