SAN DIEGO — The victim in a reported home invasion in Clairemont Mesa last week has died, according to police.

A 911 call was made shortly before noon on April 5 from a man saying there had been a robbery at his father’s home. The son proceeded to drive home and told police when he arrived he found his father inside suffering from apparent trauma to his upper body.

When police officers arrived, they discovered the man was not breathing and began CPR until being relieved by San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel. The victim was transported to the hospital.

The victim remained on life-support for several days, but tragically passed away as a result of the incident. The victim was identified by police as 58-year-old Randy Taing seen below.
