San Diego Police have announced that following an extensive investigation, detectives have made an arrest in a 2023 Ocean Beach homicide.
Andrew Restrepo, described as a 36-year-old Latino, was arrested as the suspect for the murder of Sean Glenn. Glenn was slugged by a man while standing at 5000 Newport Avenue on May 10, 2023, at approximately 10:51 p.m and knocked unconscious. Glenn was transported to the hospital for his injuries and remained hospitalized until he succumbed to the injuries on August 5 that year. He was 35.
At that point, San Diego Police Homicide Division took up the investigation. Assisted by significant video images of the assault and the attacker, detectives identified Andrew Restrepo, police stated as the suspect in the case. Police also claim that Restrepo was responsible for a similar attack on a yet to be identified man later that same month while riding an MTS bus in the Midway area.
Earlier this week, on Tuesday, August 27, Restrepo was located at 402 Fifth Avenue and arrested for both assaults. He was booked into County Jail for one count of murder, two counts of assault with force likely to result in great bodily injury, and various other related charges.
