The man who was badly beaten outside his President Trump-themed Escondido home last week has died, the victim's wife told NBC 7 on Monday.

Army veteran Kerry Sheron, 69, was hospitalized after suffering significant injuries on May 20 after being attacked outside his home near East Mission Avenue and Buchanan Street, according to the Escondido Police Department. … Sheron remained in critical condition in the hospital until he died on Sunday night, according to his wife, Maria Garcia.

Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, was charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, making criminal threats, and battery. In court last Friday, Butler pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges. A judge ordered Butler held without bail for the time being.

Security video obtained by NBC 7 from across the street shows the altercation. The bystander told NBC 7 the homeowner was standing in the front yard when the suspect came up and attacked him. The witness tried to intervene before the suspect fled on foot before officers arrived.
