It is unclear if Gerdvil had a weapon on him.CALIFORNIA MAN WHO WENT BY ALIAS FOR 40 YEARS ARRESTED IN WOMAN’S MURDERDavid Desmond told FOX 11 that he saw Gerdvil aggressively fighting with his father the morning before the horrid attack.”Younger guy was in his face, with his finger pointing at him, in his face,” Desmond told the outlet. “I didn’t hear what they were saying, but he looked really angry and the other guy was old.”Another neighbor told the outlet that Gerdvil had a drug issue and was living with his parents.Gerdvil, who is still in the hospital, will be booked on two counts of homicide when he is medically cleared, police said.
