A 27-year-old man suspected of punching another man in the face at a trolley station, resulting in his death a week later, has been taken into custody.
The assault occurred at approximately 2:24 p.m. on March 18, when Javier Teran-Pascasio, 38, was punched once in the face and collapsed to the ground at the 12th & Imperial Transit Center, according to the San Diego Police Department.
San Diego Fire-Rescue Department personnel responded to the location, where they treated Teran-Pascasio before taking him to a hospital.
Police said his injuries were the result of the assault and that detectives were initially investigating a battery offense.
The suspect, identified as Kenny Dunn, was spotted the following day by San Diego Metropolitan Transit System personnel, who requested SDPD officers come to the scene, police said.
No witnesses were able to positively identify Dunn as the suspect at the time of the initial arrest, police said, and Dunn, also known as Kenny Corzine, was released from custody.
Detectives located Dunn on Tuesday in the 1300 block of East 30th Street in National City, two blocks west of North Second Avenue, where he was arrested in connection with the assault.
