Juan Tejedor Baron is charged with murder, theft, and identify theft for the February killing of 73-year-old Gary Ruby, who police say was found encased in cement and coffee-grounds in a standalone soaking tub inside his Hawaii Loa Ridge home
A 23-year-old man has confessed to murdering a lover five decades his senior after learning he was HIV positive—before embarking on a twisted cover-up scheme that included pouring cement and coffee grounds over the victim’s body in a bathtub and seizing his car and multi-mullion dollar Hawaii home, police said.
“Baron stated that soon after, he noticed Gary choked on food, and Baron reacted by placing a belt around Gary’s neck and tightening the belt until Gary lost consciousness,” the affidavit added. Authorities said they first became aware of the incident on Monday, when Ruby’s brother asked for a wellness check after not hearing from the 73-year-old for three weeks. Ruby’s brother told police his brother mentioned in an email that he had “met a new love interest named Juan” who was “significantly younger.”
The Los Angeles Police Department and U.S. Marshals captured Baron on Wednesday, shortly before also arresting a 34-year-old man whom local police say was also seen leaving Ruby’s house. The 34-year-old man was later released after evidence suggested he had nothing to do with the murder.
