Army veteran dies days after attack outside his Trump-themed house in California
Police said the 69-year-old Army veteran died after a violent assault, and prosecutors are reviewing whether to upgrade charges against the suspect.
- Army veteran Kerry Sheron, 69, died Sunday night after being hospitalized from an attack outside his Escondido home on May 20 near East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street, his wife Maria Garcia told NBC 7 on Monday.
- Sheron's home was known for displaying American flags and signs supporting President Trump; his wife of 20 years believed the yard display played a role, though authorities said the motive remained under investigation.
- Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia described the assault as unprovoked, beginning with a single punch to Sheron's jaw followed by subsequent blows to his head; Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, a U.S. Navy veteran, was charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats, and battery.
- In court last Friday, Butler pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail, facing up to 15 years in prison if convicted; prosecutors indicated charges may be enhanced following Sheron's death.
- Nearly 100 community members gathered outside Sheron's home on Friday for a vigil, with attendees leaving flowers, balloons, and prayers, describing him as a kind person who didn't deserve the attack.
