The girl was not injured by the assailants.<\/p>\n<p>A neighbor, who called police after hearing the man\u2019s daughter scream, said that Tellez was \u201ca family man,\u201d and \u201ca hardworking guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHe came here to provide the best for his family, you know, as all of us do, the American dream,\u201d neighbor Silverio Nodal added. \u201cBut this is not the American dream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a shame. This is supposed to be the best season, the Christmas season,\u201d Nodal continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a family thing. These things shouldn\u2019t be happening. It\u2019s a big shock for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus far, the CPD has no suspects and has not released a statement or description of the attackers.<\/p>\n<p>Tellez leaves behind a wife and three children.
