Man, 88, killed near Rolando-area veterinary clinic, may have interrupted robbery [Breaking]
San Diego police said an 88-year-old man suffered a fatal head injury Wednesday when he tried to interrupt a burglary at a veterinary clinic in the Rolando area.
The victim was found by police who responded to a report of a burglary in progress around 3:30 p.m. at the clinic on El Cajon Bouelvard near 70th Street. Officers found a “concerned citizen” detaining a suspect behind the clinic when they arrived, said homicide Lt. Steve Shebloski. When officers checked the clinic for any victims or evidence of a crime they found the elderly man suffering from a head wound. It wasn’t immediately clear if the victim was found inside or outside the office.
He was rushed to the hospital but he died from his injuries shortly before 5 p.m. The name of the victim has not been released, pending notification of his family members.“At this time, it appears the victim interrupted a possible burglary to the veterinary clinic and a confrontation ensued between the suspect and the elderly victim,” Shebloski said in a written statement. “During that confronation, the victim sustained injuries, including the head wound.
