San Diego police shot at a home burglary suspect who barricaded himself in a room with a woman and her elderly father in the family’s Tierrasanta home Saturday morning.
The man suspected of breaking into a Tierrasanta home and sexually assaulting one of the residents before engaging in a shootout with San Diego police is due in court Wednesday.
Demetrius Trussell, 40, faces 16 charges -- burglary, carjacking, kidnapping, sexual assault, indecent exposure, carjacking, using a person as a shield, and several others -- when he is arraigned in San Diego County court on Tuesday. San Diego police say Trussell tried to break into two other homes before he successfully entered a home on Viacha Drive near Tierrasanta Boulevard overnight on April 9, 2022.
The break-in prompted the 53-year-old homeowner and her father to barricade themselves in an upstairs room and call 911 but the suspect was able to get into their hideout, SDPD Capt. Rich Freedman said. The man exposed himself and sexually assaulted the woman multiple times, SDPD said.
