The San Francisco District Attorney's office announced Friday morning that it filed several charges against a man who allegedly beat a 73-year-old Visitacion Valley man to death.
Charles Short, 32, faces 14 felony charges plus several aggravating allegations including: murder, elder abuse, mayhem, assault, battery, second degree robbery, false imprisonment and preventing or dissuading witness by force of threat.
The charges come after Short, early in the morning of Nov. 1, attacked 73-year-old Richard Owens and two others without provocation. Owens died from the attack. "Providing justice for our victims is a paramount priority as we move forward with prosecuting this case," said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins."Our office will work to ensure that Charles Short will be held accountable for his violent unprovoked attack that left one man dead and others seriously injured."
Police arrested Short the same day and he's been in custody ever since. He's scheduled to be arraigned on charges Friday. Anyone with information is asked to call the San Francisco Police Department Tip Line at: 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD.© 2022 CBS Broadcasting Inc.
