Three San Diego Men Arrested On Suspicion of Homicide in Beating Death
Three men were arrested on suspicion of homicide after police said they beat a man so severely in Downtown San Diego that he died hours later, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. The three men who were arrested were: Felipe Pineda, 38; Edgar Cortez, 21 and William Alfonso, 19. The victim, 50, was also from San Diego, but officials have not released his name.
According to police reports, the victim argued with three or four men on K Street near Park Boulevard two blocks east of Petco Park in East Village. The fight got out of hand and the men beat the victim on the head and face, the article said. Police arrived on scene at which time the alleged assailants ran away. Paramedics transported the victim to an area hospital, where he died.
Homicide and murder are the most serious offenses in the United States that bear the most serious consequences. Prison time is certain if the charges result in a conviction. In some cases, the prosecution will seek the death penalty in murder cases. Most result in lengthy prison sentences, sometimes life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Mistaken identity is a common factor in numerous murder cases. New DNA technology has proved in many murder and rape cases that the prosecution got the wrong guy simply because a witness may have picked the wrong person out of a police lineup.
