A Jewish man who fell to the ground in an altercation during dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian street protests in California died on Monday, and his death was determined to be a homicide, law enforcement and a Jewish organization said.
Paul Kessler, 69, died of blunt force head trauma following the altercation on Sunday, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles identified the victim as a Jewish man and labeled the incident as the "fourth major antisemitic crime committed in Los Angeles this year." Kessler was involved in a physical altercation with counter-protesters, the sheriff's office said, citing witness accounts. It did not specify which side instigated the altercation.
Deputies asked the public for help in what it called "an active and ongoing investigation." The sheriff's office said it would hold a press conference on Tuesday about the incident.
