<p>A proud California veteran known for plastering his home with American flags and Donald Trump memorabilia died after a &#8220;brutal and unprovoked&#8221; daylight <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/owner-of-trump-house-in-critical-condition-after-brutal-beating">attack</a> outside his Southern California residence — and his heartbroken widow fears his patriotism made him a target.</p>
<p>Kerry George Sheron, 69, tragically succumbed to his injuries on Sunday evening after spending days fighting for his life in a local ICU, authorities said.</p>
<p>The horrifying assault unfolded on May 20 at around 2:14 p.m. outside Sheron’s Escondido, California, home — a property widely recognized by locals as the neighborhood “Trump House.”</p>
<p>According to prosecutors, Thomas Caleb Butler, 32, <a href="https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/escondido/escondido-trump-house-attack-suspect-court/?ipid=promo-link-block1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/escondido/escondido-trump-house-attack-suspect-court/?ipid%3Dpromo-link-block1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1779973438730000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3x0hHPW8Pg9IumjUebIVnL">ambushed</a> the elderly veteran, punching and stomping on Sheron’s head at least twice. When a brave bystander attempted to intervene and halt the bloodshed, Butler allegedly advanced on him, threw a punch, and hurled criminal threats before fleeing the scene on foot.</p>
<p>Escondido cops quickly tracked down Butler a few blocks away and slapped handcuffs on him. He was initially booked for attempted murder, elder abuse causing great bodily injury, battery, and making threats. He has pleaded not guilty.</p>
<p>But with Sheron’s tragic passing, San Diego County prosecutors are now <a href="https://people.com/owner-of-calif-trump-house-dies-days-after-alleged-attack-outside-home-11983834" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://people.com/owner-of-calif-trump-house-dies-days-after-alleged-attack-outside-home-11983834&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1779973438730000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0aXdbjs2uyn92777814cNn">reviewing</a> the circumstances to determine whether to upgrade the charges to murder.</p>
<p>Sheron&#8217;s devastated widow, Maria Garcia, is convinced that her husband’s bold political displays incited the deadly rage.</p>
<p>&#8220;They don&#8217;t like the flags,&#8221; Garcia told <a href="https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/wife-believes-husband-was-attacked-for-political-decorations-outside-escondido-home/509-feed08e3-1bf2-45ee-b0d6-3b009ce53878" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/wife-believes-husband-was-attacked-for-political-decorations-outside-escondido-home/509-feed08e3-1bf2-45ee-b0d6-3b009ce53878&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1779973438730000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3v2MKsX8vmCbaYVW9nN-rR">CBS8</a>. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why. I support America. My husband is [a] veteran.&#8221;</p>
<p>Family friends revealed that Sheron’s patriotic sanctuary had been targeted by anti-Trump vandals in the past.</p>
<p>&#8220;Back in March, people came through with razor blades and cut up a bunch of Kerry&#8217;s flags,&#8221; family friend Jim Gillie said, noting that Sheron always took the vitriol in stride.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kerry was used to it because he&#8217;d come out here with his Trump signs and stuff during the week and flags, and people would drive by and honk and wave, and most of the people are good, but when someone would flip him off, he&#8217;d just look at me and say, they have their right to freedom of speech too,&#8221; Gillie said.</p>
<p>Following the attack, the local community rallied around the home, placing flowers and holding vigils on the sidewalk. Devastated neighbors are now vowing to keep watch over the property to ensure Sheron&#8217;s beloved flags stay flying high.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to remember my husband &#8230; how he was a very good man,&#8221; Garcia said. &#8220;Service in the church, service in the Army &#8230; for me, he is my hero.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yusef Miller of the North County Equity and Justice Coalition called the killing a wake-up call for a divided nation.</p>
<p>&#8220;What happened to our fellow veteran is something that should have never happened,&#8221; Miller said. &#8220;This is an example, when we lost Kerry, of how far we&#8217;ve gone off the wrong track.”</p>
