A former U.S. Marine who survived several tours of duty in Iraq and a knife attack at his Phelan home a few months ago was violently beaten to death with a hammer while installing cable at a Victorville home, authorities said. A relative of the homeowners has been arrested in the attack.
Trevor Neiman, 25, a Charter Communications Cable installer, was found beaten and bloody by San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies who responded to the home shortly after 4:30 p.m. Monday.
While Neiman was working on the cable at the home in the 15200 block of San Jose Drive, a man attacked and repeatedly beat him with a small hammer, authorities said.
"He was doing a cable installation. There was no exchange of words. There was nothing that occurred before the unprovoked attack," said Jody Miller, a San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman.
Miller said witnesses told investigators there was no indication of what set off the attack. Paramedics rushed Neiman to Victor Valley Community Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
After the attack, investigators say, the suspect fled the home.
Relatives and other witnesses quickly identified Johnny Acosta, 45, as being at the home at the time of the beating. The family had moved in just days before. While detectives were searching for Acosta, he contacted the San Bernardino County sheriff’s dispatch center, gave his location and surrendered to detectives without a struggle.

This is the story reporting Acosta's criminal history. What a joke this state is.
Johnny Acosta hates ex-leathernecks.
That’s why he beat up Trevor Neiman to a pulp. That’s how he said thanks to an ex-marine who installed his cable TV connection for him.
RIP.
I’m sure Acosta was under ‘stress.’ We should let him go. /s
Public executions are a fine idea. Let’s add the idea that such executions be only on PAY-FOR-VIEW with the bulk of the earnings going to surviving family of the victim. This way we can see justice done and help the victim’s family both at the same time. People who object to public executions simply don’t have to watch.
Converted while in prison?
His mood on his MySpace page was ‘peaceful’. That’s what you would think a man could be after fighting for his country and coming home. How infuriatingly horrible that is not the case. We have become a battlefield.
His MySpace pages. Prayers for his family and friends.

I think we need lynchings along the road sides and to leave the bodies to rot with a sign stating the crime. This is no more barbaric then the criminal.
Never take a knife to a gunfight.
SUSPECT: JOHNNY ACOSTA, HISPANIC MALE, 45 YEARS OLD, DOB: 03-26-64 A RESIDENT OF HESPERIA
