Wick's publicist released the statement: "I want to start by saying that Nardo is furious over what happened! He did not condone or participate in anything that occurred. He took no part in it. As soon as he realized what was happening, he jumped to put a stop to it.
"That’s not his security nor are the individuals directly connected to Nardo. Nardo spoke with the victim's mother the same night it occurred, and management has been in contact with the mother in reference to his condition.
"We are praying for a speedy recovery! Nardo loves and genuinely cares about his fans."
Adding to Obregon's mom's desperate pleas, Tampa police are similarly calling for any witnesses to the incident to come forward.
