Victor's sister, Yani Lescano, paid tribute to her brother on Facebook, writing: "Fly high, may the light that has no end shine on you. My tears are unstoppable. Give me the strength to continue. I'm going to miss you every day of my life." <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The incident is currently under investigation by police and prosecutor Lorena Belkis Alderete, according to local reports. Police from the 33rd police station attended the scene, but local news outlets claim life-saving attempts were to no avail.<\/p>\n
Little is known about the victim, other than that he lived in the town of Sumampa, and that he was an amateur paddle tennis player. Shocked locals took to Facebook to pay tribute to him.<\/p>\n
One wrote: "My deepest condolences to the family". And a second commented: "What a horror!!! But putting him fly high' as a farewell after being killed by lightning sounds kind of misplaced."<\/p>\n
A third added: "This is so sad, and I really feel for the family considering nothing could have been done to prevent such a tragic accident from happening! I hope the others injured by the strike end up being safe and healthy as soon as possible."<\/p>\n
