A Los Angeles fitness influencer is ‘fighting bravely’ in the ICU after being shot in the face during an alleged attempted robbery.
Miguel Angel Aguilar, the president of Self Made Family Training, was allegedly followed by four men to his LA home Friday afternoon, police told TMZ.
The group of men, armed with guns, approached Aguilar – the husband of celebrity hairstylist Priscilla Valles – after he got out of his car, according to the outlet.
Sources said the alleged thieves attempted to take Aguilar’s Rolex watch just before he was shot in the face.
The fitness guru is currently recovering at the hospital following the serious attack, Self Made Family Training said in a post Saturday evening. The extent of his injuries are unknown.
