The victim, Kerry Sheron-who had covered his home with pro-Trump\/MAGA displays and flags-was reportedly punched in the jaw once and then struck in the head after he fell on May 20. He died in hospital the following Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors say the suspected attacker, Thomas Butler, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/los-angeles-county-sheriff-supports-recall-effort-against-d-a-gascon\/\" title=\"Los Angeles County Sheriff Supports Recall Effort Against D.A.

Investigators have not yet confirmed a political motive, though the assault appears to have been related to sheron\u2019s visible pro-Trump displays.It\u2019s also unclear whether the two men knew each other beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Community members gathered outside the home to show support both before and after Sheron\u2019s death, and local residents offered condolences to his wife, maria.
