Police investigate motive in fatal attack outside man’s Trump-themed home

A US Army veteran has died after being assaulted in broad daylight last week outside his southern California home, which was known locally for its pro-Trump decor, say officials.

Kerry George Sheron, 69, died in hospital four days after the incident, in which a bystander who intervened was also injured, police in the city of Escondido said. No motive has yet been identified.

Officials arrested Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, a few blocks away after he allegedly fled on foot.
