The Army Veteran Killed Outside His ‘Trump House’

The Army Veteran Killed Outside His ‘Trump House’ Kerry Sheron could often be found waving and nodding to those who passed his home, which stood out in Escondido, Calif. The show of political preference cropped up outside a modest terra-cotta home a few years ago, a spectacle of American flags, banners and flowers in veneration of Donald Trump. Residents of Escondido, Calif., could not miss the plethora of unfurled flags tethered to the home’s fence, some oversized and perched along its rail, their staffs rising high. Alongside them were placards with brazen declarations, such as “Open Border Welcomes Death and Destruction to America.” Situated on Mission Avenue, a corridor of north San Diego County, the display had a daily audience within a sea of swift-moving traffic. The longtime owners of the home were Kerry Sheron and his wife, Maria Garcia. During rush hour, they could be found outside waving and nodding to those who passed. Most drivers hurtled on by, but those who engaged reflected a city whose politics tend to be divided down the middle. A typical day yielded honks of approval as well as shouts of profanity and disgust. Mr. Sheron paid little mind to the latter. His décor was brash, but he had a reputation for being uninterested in confrontation, saying things like “God bless you” if someone agitated for a lengthier dispute. Related Content Advertisement
