<p>Law enforcement officials in southern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> said on Tuesday that they executed a search warrant at the home of a pro-Palestinian activist that they suspect was involved in the death of a pro-Israel protester at the start of the week.</p>
<p>The incident where 69-year-old Paul Kessler was killed happened at a Sunday event in Thousand Oaks where there were competing pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian rallies.</p>
<p>Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff said at a press conference that law enforcement identified a 50-year-old suspect who was one of the pro-Palestinian protesters.</p>
<p>&#8220;During the investigation at the scene, deputies determined that the altercation with Mr. Kessler, he fell backward and struck his head on the ground,&#8221; he said. &#8220;What exactly transpired prior to Mr. Kessler falling backward isn&#8217;t crystal clear right now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kessler was transported to a local hospital and he remained conscious and responsive for a period of time until he succumbed to his injuries early Monday morning.</p>
<p>The Major Crimes Bureau (MCB) subsequently launched a criminal homicide investigation into the incident and investigators have not ruled out that a hate crime was committed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yesterday afternoon, detectives obtained a search warrant for the suspect and the suspect&#8217;s residence,&#8221; said Fryhoff. &#8220;At 4:58 p.m. detectives conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle driven by the suspect in the city of Simi Valley. The suspect was detained &#8230; until the completion of the search warrant and he was released at 6:15 p.m. During the detention of the suspect, detectives executed a search warrant at the suspect&#8217;s residence in the city of Moorpark.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Christopher Young, the chief medical examiner for Ventura County, said at the press conference that a CT scan at the hospital found that Kessler sustained &#8220;intracranial injuries, which included swelling of the brain and hemorrhage surrounding the brain.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The autopsy demonstrated non-lethal injuries to the left side of Mr. Kessler&#8217;s face,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Additional injuries included injury to the back of the head, these injuries are consistent with and typical of injuries sustained from a fall. Internal injuries also are consistent with a fall which included skull fractures, swelling of the brain, and bruising to the brain.&#8221;</p>
<p>Young said that the injuries to the front of Kessler&#8217;s face were &#8220;consistent with a blow to the face,&#8221; which is separate from the injuries to the back of his head caused by him falling and hitting his head on the ground.</p>
<p>&#8220;The cause of death has been certified as blunt force head trauma, the manner of death is homicide,&#8221; Young said. &#8220;When a manner of death of homicide is made, it&#8217;s simply stating that the death occurred at the hands of another person or the actions of another person contributed to the death of the person.&#8221;</p>
