Army Veteran Passes Away Days After Attack Outside His Trump-Themed House in Escondido
Thomas Caleb Butler faces attempted murder and elder abuse charges after prosecutors said Kerry Sheron died from injuries in an unprovoked assault.
- 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 Escondido home was known for its prominent display of American flags and President Trump signs; his wife of 20 years believed the yard display played a role in the attack, 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 evening for a vigil, with attendees leaving flowers, balloons, and prayers, describing him as a kind person who didn't deserve the attack.
