Army Veteran Known for ‘Trump House’ Dies After Attack
26th May 2026
The owner of a heavily decorated pro-Trump home in Southern California has died days after he was beaten outside his residence, according to reports.
Kerry Sheron, a 69-year-old Army veteran known in Escondido for covering his home with pro-Trump banners and American flags, died Sunday night after spending nearly a week in critical condition following the May 20 attack, FOX 5 reported.
Authorities say Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, allegedly attacked Sheron outside the home in what prosecutors described as an unprovoked assault.
Butler has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, elder abuse, criminal threats, and battery charges.
Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia told the court Sheron suffered devastating injuries after being punched to the ground and repeatedly struck in the head.
