Officers quickly responded to the scene and located a 34-year-old male victim on the sidewalk with severe head trauma. He was treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital for treatment. His condition has not been released. After Morales initially struck the victim, he struck the man an additional two times while the victim was unconscious on the ground.
