A veteran and patriot has died following an attack by an assailant with a reported history of mental illness.
According to theNew York Post, 69-year-old U.S. Army veteran Kerry Sheron of Escondido, California — a man known locally as the owner of “the Trump House,” a home covered in American flags and banners supportive of PresidentDonald Trump’sMake America Great Again movement — died Sunday after four days in critical condition.
Meanwhile, Sheron’s wife has already told reporters that she suspects a politically motivated attack.
Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia described the lethal assault, which occurred Wednesday.
“It was a single punch to the jaw,” Garcia said. “The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”
Police later took 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler into custody.
“The violence has to stop,” prominent Trump supporter Eric Daugherty wrote on the social media platform X. “Rest in peace, Kerry. Give his killer capital punishment.”
