Kerry Sheron, a 69-year-old U.S. Army veteran and staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, died following a brutal attack outside his MAGA-themed home in Escondido, California. The incident occurred on May 20, 2026, when Sheron was allegedly assaulted by Thomas Caleb Butler, a 32-year-old Navy veteran. Sheron was punched and struck multiple times, leading to severe injuries that resulted in his death on May 24, 2026. Butler has been charged with attempted murder, elder abuse, and other offenses, and remains in custody without bail. The motive for the attack is still under investigation, but Sheron's family suspects it was politically motivated, citing previous vandalism incidents at their home. Friends and family have expressed their grief, with many gathering outside Sheron's home to pay their respects. Sheron's wife, Maria Moreno, voiced her heartbreak, stating, 'I want my husband back.' The case is currently under review by the San Diego County District Attorney's Office to determine if charges will be amended following Sheron's death.
