Screams Lead Police to Suspect in San Diego Homeless Attacks
By JULIE WATSON, ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO — Jul 15, 2016, 8:10 PM ET
Screams from a homeless man being attacked as he slept Friday led officers to capture the man responsible for a string of assaults that have terrorized San Diego's transient population, authorities say.
The arrest of Jon David Guerrero came five days after police released another man they had suspected in the attacks that left three homeless men dead and two critically injured, including the most recent victim. Two of them were set on fire.
Police told reporters that they have no doubt they nabbed the right man.
Guerrero was arrested in the pre-dawn hours soon after a fifth transient was attacked under a freeway bridge. Two officers heard the 55-year-old man's screams and found him with severe trauma to his upper body — like the other four victims, Capt. David Nisleit said.
