Your home should be the one place where you can say what you believe without fearing for your life. Kerry Sheron thought his yard was safe, but that belief cost him everything.

WHAT HAPPENED

Kerry Sheron was an Army veteran living in Escondido, California. Last Wednesday, someone attacked him outside his house.

His home was famous in the neighborhood. It was covered in pro-Trump flags and political signs.

Sheron spent days in the hospital in very bad shape. He died from his hurts on Tuesday morning.

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS

The attack happened last Wednesday outside the victim's home.

• Kerry Sheron was a veteran of the U.S. Army.
• The house was well-known for its many political flags.
• Sheron died six days after the fight.
• Police are still looking for a clear motive.

THE BIGGER QUESTION

We often talk about how divided our country has become. But when does a difference in opinion turn into a death sentence?

If we cannot feel safe showing a flag on our own porch, what does that say about the peace we claim to value?

WHAT HAPPENS NOW

This death has left the Escondido community on edge. Neighbors are worried that talking about politics could make them targets too.

Police are looking for more clues in the area to keep things calm. They are asking anyone with video from that night to come forward.

WHAT WE STILL DON'T KNOW

1. Did the attacker say anything about the flags during the fight?
2. Was this a planned attack or a random run-in?
3. Are there cameras that caught the face of the person who did this?
