According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/phoenix-police-make-arrest-in-seemingly-random-slaying-of-grandfather-74\">reports<\/a>, authorities arrested 41-year-old Marcus Williams this week. Earlier this month, Williams was accused of punching 74-year-old Juanito Falcon, who was on a morning walk. Williams immediately fled the scene.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2382565\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2382565\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2382565 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/AP21063742186392.jpg\" alt=\"This March 2021 photo provided by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office shows 41-year-old Marcus Taliafero Williams.

(Maricopa County Sheriff\u2019s Office via The AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Falcon fell and hit his head on the floor, which ultimately fractured his skull. He died from his injuries in the hospital two days later. Police said there was \u201cno apparent reason\u201d for the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know why this occurred, which is why it makes it even more tragic,\u201d Sgt. Ann Justus of the Phoneix Police Department said. \u201cAnd sometimes we just don\u2019t ever find out the why. At this time we don\u2019t have any reason to believe this is a hate crime or racially motivated. And until we have evidence that leads to that way, we just can\u2019t direct this investigation that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, hate crimes and attacks against Asian-Americans continue to rise across the nation. Falcon, a Filipino-American, was described as a loving father and grandfather.<\/p>\n<p>Williams was charged with second-degree murder.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trump-slams-wsj-for-article-shaming-gop\/\">President Trump Slams WSJ For Article Shaming GOP<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOENIX, AZ \u2013 DECEMBER 10: Crime tape is photographed at a crime scene at an East Mesa home December 10, 2002 in Phoenix, Arizona.
