FULLERTON, Calif. (KABC) -- Authorities are searching for two men involved in a fight over a suspect's girlfriend in downtown Fullerton.

Surveillance video on Aug. 23 shows the two suspects approaching three men at about 2 a.m. in the 100 block of North Harbor Boulevard near Tuscany Club. The suspects asked why the men were looking at one of the suspects' girlfriends before the fight broke out, Fullerton police said.

Irvin Ynfante, 26, of Garden Grove was punched in the face and struck his head when he fell to the ground. He was taken to a trauma center and has been in a coma for six days.

Ynfante's loved ones have been at the hospital praying for a full recovery and for justice. They've started a Facebook page to get the word out and a website for donations to help pay for his medical expenses.

A second victim suffered a dislocated shoulder and a third victim received cuts and bruises.

The first suspect was described as in his mid-20s, 6 feet tall, 210 pounds, having a muscular build, brown spiked hair and light brown eyes. He spoke with a deep voice and was clean shaven.

The second suspect was described as a man in his mid-20s, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 180 pounds and clean shaven. He had lines shaven into the sides of his short black hair.

The female was described as white with blonde hair. She was last seen wearing a white tank top.

Fullerton police say there were witnesses shooting video on their cell phones who have not come forward.

"The Fullerton Police Department is asking any of those folks that have retained those videos to contact the police department and assist us in finding the two suspects," Fullerton Police Department Sgt. Kathryn Hamel said.

Knowing people stood by and shot video but didn't try to help is troubling for Ynfante's family and his best friend Renzo Del Castillo.

"I think anybody could relate if you have a family member or a best friend, that's like a brother to me, laying on the ground or fighting one of the biggest battles of his life, you'll feel the same way," Castillo said.

The family hopes somebody who knows the suspects will break their silence and come forward. They also hope anyone with cell phone video will have the courage to call police.

Anyone with information about the suspects or the possible girlfriend is asked to call Fullerton Police Det. B. Coffman at (714) 738-5361.
