Some of you may also recall the older man beaten in his garage in the vicinity of victims #2 the morning after the rape, by a masked man hiding in the victim's garage. The older man owned both a car rental and gas station/garage business.
Victim says he is awakened at 3:50 a.m on July 16th by the sounds of someone walking on his patio in the backyard. Victim tried to go back to sleep, but keeps hearing noises so he gets up. He gets ready for work and walks out into the garage and opens the garage door. He hears footsteps and sees a man coming under the still raising garage door and heading right for him. He has a club like object in his hand and proceeds to beat Victim on his head and face. Victim states he was sure the man was trying to kill him. He said the man had a brown mask on that appeared homemade. He was wearing brown gloves and thick soled hiking boots. Victim said the club was about 2’ long and the diameter of the handle was about the same as a shovel, but the end he was being struck with felt like it contained sand.
Victim fell to the ground and the suspect continued to strike him mercilessly. Victim crawled under his car and held on to the drive train of the car. The suspect continually tried to pull him out from underneath the car, but was unable. The suspect also continued battering Victim’s legs while he was under the car, but he said he held on because he was sure if he came out from under the car he would be killed. The suspect accidentally pulled Victim’s pants down in the process of trying to pull him out from under the car and then took his wallet from his back pocket and fled on foot. Victim estimated he was struck over 50 times, but was able to crawl to a neighbor’s house to get help.
He is hospitalized with severe injuries including massive facial and head trauma. Both eyes are swollen shut and he lost a lot of blood. He recovered.
