The wife of the elderly San Diego man brutally beaten outside his MAGA-inspired “Trump House” said there’s “no hope” for her husband after the vicious attack left him fighting for his life.
Kerry Sheron, 69, was in critical condition following the violent assault outside his Escondido property on Wednesday afternoon.
His wife, Maria, revealed to The California Post through tears that her husband isn’t expected to survive.
The alleged assailant, 32-year-old Escondido resident Thomas Caleb Butler, was arrested on attempted murder charges and faces life in prison if convicted.
Sheron, who describes himself as a Army veteran, is known for adorning his Buchanan Street home with Trump flags and other pro-American regalia.
In a March video, he showed Trump and American flag displays outside his property in tatters after apparent vandalism.
“Somebody decided that our stuff is not good. Incredible, look at this. They even ripped up the American flag, how f–ked up is that,” he said.
Maria told the Post she believes her husband was targeted over the displays.
After the attack, Butler fled the scene on foot before officers nabbed nearby and took him into custody.
He had not been arraigned on the charges as of Thursday morning and is ineligible for bail, according to jail records.
He is scheduled to next appear in court on Friday.
