California police probe if fatal attack on man outside his Trump-themed home had political motive

“It was a single punch to the jaw,” Deputy DA Ross Garcia told reporters on Friday.

“The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”

Detectives are evaluating all potential motives for the assault, including whether the incident had any political component, Escondido Police Lt Lee Stewart told the Los Angeles Times.

Stewart also noted they “have not developed evidence to support that conclusion”.
