California man out on bond for attempted murder charged with kidnapping 89-year-old South Carolina woman
A California man who apparently cross-dresses on social media and was out on bond for an attempted murder, kidnapped and assaulted an elderly woman in South Carolina who stopped providing him with financial assistance, police said Thursday.
Enver Marius Zueros, 34, was arrested Monday and is charged with first-degree burglary, kidnapping and attempted murder in the attempted extortion of an 89-year-old woman.
“This man will not see the light of day. He will spend the rest of his natural life in prison,” Summerville Police Chief Doug Wright said during a news conference.

Authorities said the woman was left for dead and found Sunday with her wrists bound with duct tape, a dog leash over her ankles and a bag over her head.
Police suspect Zueros had a distant online connection with the victim’s brother, WCIV-TV reported. The woman kept a relationship with him via text and email while offering financial assistance.

Police said Zueros, a resident of Mission Viejo, California, was upset that she began donating money to charities instead of giving it to him. In an effort to target her, he allegedly rented an Airbnb in the area.
“This wasn’t random,” Wright said. “He knew exactly who he was targeting and had a plan in place. It’s a terrifying example of how dangerous some of these situations can become.”
Zueros was inside the woman’s home when a retired law enforcement neighbor became suspicious and rang the doorbell. Zueros gave a fake name and said the victim was hospitalized after falling in the shower.

The neighbor, still suspicious, went to his home to grab a gun, police said. Zueros fled the woman’s home in her vehicle.
Authorities later found the vehicle with the woman restrained underneath the rear folding seats in her car floorboard, police said. Zueros was later arrested. The victim sustained minor injuries but was doing well, Wright said.
Zueros is being held in a local jail after being denied bond.
U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., scolded California Gov. Gavin Newsom on social media over the incident.
“@GavinNewsom, keep your criminal scum out of South Carolina,” she wrote on X. “This traveling tr*nny and attempted murderer from your state brutalized a constituent of mine. Come get it.”
In a subsequent post, Mace said California’s lenient criminal justice policies were hurting South Carolina.
“California policies affecting our state. This guy was out on bond for attempted murder…!” she wrote.

Editor’s note: In 2016, WW expanded its Cheap Eats guide to include a road trip. We identified nine diners, food trucks and one boat worth a pit stop when journeying through Oregon. Since then, a few things have changed: Two of our picks have closed, as noted below, and you don’t need to travel to Medford to find an In-N-Out Burger. But maybe you should!
This list first appeared in the March 23, 1016, edition of WW.
TAQUERIA GUERRERO
508 E 1ST ST., NEWBERG.
Half tienda, half taco spot, Guerrero serves its street tacos and huge mojado burrito ($8.95) with handmade tortillas that shame almost anything in Portland.
JOE’S DONUT SHOP
39230 PIONEER BLVD., SANDY.
This 40-year-old candy-striped dough den offers a ridiculously rich cronut—that’s a fried croissant—fast service, and always-fresh doughnuts. It’s arguably the best doughnut shop in the state.
THE DINER
2580 SE STRATUS AVE., MCMINNVILLE.
The Diner makes one of the state’s greatest sandwiches—a fried-chicken club in which each layer is seasoned and housemade, and the middle slice of bread is replaced by the satisfying crunch of fried chicken.
EASTWIND DRIVE IN
395 WANAPA ST., CASCADE LOCKS.
The Eastwind is where Cheryl Strayed first tasted civilization after ending her long, long walk. The soft-serve ice cream is good enough for you, too, motherfucker.
BOWPICKER FISH & CHIPS
1634 DUANE ST., ASTORIA.
At this 28-foot converted gillnet boat, there are always 12 old men waiting in line for beautifully fresh-caught, hand-battered albacore tuna served with a raft of fries. Join them.
LOCAL BOYZ HAWAIIAN CAFE
1425 NW MONROE AVE., CORVALLIS.
A sweet shoyu chicken plate lunch will fill you up until dinner tomorrow. But broke high-school kids will buy rice for $1.50 just so they can douse it in the magical ginger-garlic-shoyu sauce.
IN-N-OUT
1970 CRATER LAKE HIGHWAY, MEDFORD.
With an address that already sounds like a road trip, the magnificent double-double has punctured the state line. Even from as far away as Portland, it beckons.
NOW CLOSED:
FAT FREDDY’S
6320 PACIFIC AVE., PACIFIC CITY.
After a brief hiatus best forgotten, Pacific City’s beachfront home of towering burgers and equally towering Tillamook ice-cream milkshakes returned two years ago to the sound of hardening arteries.
CORNBREAD CAFE
1290 W 7TH AVE., EUGENE.
It’s arguably Eugene’s best restaurant, and it’s also a perfect fit for the town—a vegan version of an old-school diner, complete with barbecued seitan and outrageously good greens.
Willamette Week’s reporting has real-life impact that changes laws, forces action by civic leaders, and drives compromised politicians from public office.
