“Right now my family and I are going through an extremely difficult situation,” Ayala began in his message, in which he also asked to avoid any kind of comments that could generate harm or misinformation. “I ask you to please respect and prudence. This is not the time for hurtful comments, speculation or misplaced judgments,” he added.
