California Self-Defense: Salinas homeowner interrupts burglary, kills suspect. :: 02/06/2016

In an apparent self-defense move, a Salinas homeowner killed one of two burglary suspects Thursday night after coming back home with his children and interrupting the crime.

About 7pm, the 45-year-old homeowner came back home with his three children in the 1900 block of Cabernet Way near East Boronda Road, and confronted the suspects.

One of the suspects ran away to a small car parked nearby, but the other suspect stayed back and fought the homeowner—at one point, police say the suspect tried to strangle the homeowner.

Police say the homeowner managed to fight back and eventually the suspect became unconscious. It remains unclear if the homeowner used a weapon to knock him unconscious.

Soon after the suspect went limp, the homeowner called 911 and paramedics took the suspect to the hospital, where he later died.

Salinas police say that after consulting with the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office the case will potentially be reviewed as a self-defense case. The homeowner was not taken into custody.

Police say the department is investigating the case as a homicide that occurred during the commission of a felony crime.

The name of the suspect who died has not yet been released pending a notification of next of kin.
