A murder charge has been filed against Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, in the death of Kerry Sheron, the 69-year-old owner of Escondido's 'Trump House.' Butler failed to appear in court Wednesday for arraignment on the new charge. - Butler initially faced attempted murder and other charges after the May 20 attack; Sheron died days later.
- The attack occurred outside Sheron's home, known for its pro-Trump and patriotic displays. - A bystander was also injured; motive remains under investigation, including possible political links.
- Butler remains in custody without bail; hearing rescheduled for Friday. The San Diego County District Attorney's Office is seeking justice for the veteran's family, while a GoFundMe page has been set up to support them.
