White 88-Year-Old Veterinarian (Described as a "Saint" by Community) Murdered by Black Male in San Diego Robbery Gone Wrong It’s a story we aren’t supposed to know. It’s a name we never supposed to come across. But because of a diligent SBPDL reader in San Diego (one of America’s best cities), we get the truth. All we know is that a white octogenarian veterinarian is dead at the hands of a black male. [Man Pleads Not Guilty to Killing Rolando Veterinarian, NBC San Diego, June 20, 2022]:
A man accused of killing an 88-year-old veterinarian described as a “saint” at the victim’s Rolando-area clinic pleaded not guilty Monday to murder.
Patrick O’ Brien, 37, is accused in last Wednesday’s slaying of Clark Kelly, a longtime vet at Boulevard Animal Clinic on El Cajon Boulevard.
San Diego police suspected Kelly may have interrupted a burglary-in-progress before 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, leading to a confrontation between the two men.
Officers responded shortly after and a citizen had detained the suspected perpetrator, later identified as O’Brien behind the clinic.
Kelly was found inside the building suffering from a head wound and other injuries, before being taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead just before 5 p.m., police said.
