An 85-year-old man who was in custody on suspicion of attempted murder and domestic violence died while he was hospitalized for medical evaluation, authorities said Saturday.<\/p>\n
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit was notified Saturday morning that the suspect, who was in the custody of the San Diego Police Department, died at a local hospital late Friday night, according to SDSO Homicide Lt. Juan Marquez.<\/p>\n
“On June 18, 2026, SDPD officers arrested the man on suspicion of attempted murder and domestic violence, without incident,” Marquez said in a statement. “He was transported to the San Diego Central Jail for booking; however, intake medical staff determined he required further medical evaluation, and he was taken to a local hospital, where he remained under SDPD custody.”<\/p>\n
The arrestee’s condition continued to decline Friday and he was pronounced dead at the hospital just before midnight, Marquez said.<\/p>\n
“The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office extends our sympathies to the decedent’s family and all those affected by his passing,” Marquez said.<\/p>\n
In accordance with the Countywide Memorandum of Understanding, the sheriff’s Homicide Unit responded and has assumed responsibility for the in- custody death investigation.<\/p>\n
The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of death.<\/p>\n
