Police track down man suspected of killing victim with one punch at Trolley station
A 27-year-old man suspected of punching another man in the face at a trolley station, resulting in his death a week later, was taken into custody on Tuesday.
The assault occurred at approximately 2:24 p.m. on March 18, when Javier Teran-Pascasio, 38, was punched once in the face and collapsed to the ground at the 12th & Imperial Transit Center, according to the San Diego Police Department.
San Diego Fire-Rescue Department personnel responded to the location, where they treated Teran-Pascasio before taking him to a hospital.
Police said his injuries were the result of the assault and that detectives were initially investigating a battery offense.
The suspect, identified as Kenny Dunn, was spotted the following day by San Diego Metropolitan Transit System personnel, who requested SDPD officers come to the scene, police said.
No witnesses were able to positively identify Dunn as the suspect at the time of the initial arrest, police said, and Dunn, also known as Kenny Corzine, was released from custody.
Detectives located Dunn on Tuesday in the 1300 block of East 30th Street in National City, two blocks west of North Second Avenue, where he was arrested in connection with the assault.
“Teran-Pascasio never regained consciousness, and on March 25, 2026, he died as a result of his injuries,” police said in a statement.
The relationship between Dunn and Teran-Pascasio, if any, remains unknown.
Anyone with information about the case was urged to call the SDPD Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

Machado out of lineup day after early exit; Cronenworth gets first career start at third base
San Diego’s experiment with women’s professional volleyball is ending after just three seasons.
The San Diego Mojo will play one final home match on Thursday night before heading to Dallas for the Major League Volleyball playoffs. The club announced Tuesday that it will not return for the 2027 season.
The club posted to Instagram that it was “heartbroken to announce” that Thursday marks the final home game in franchise history.
Owner Gary Jacobs said in a statement that he wanted the Mojo to take the 2027 season off while building a long-term plan for the franchise, but that “the league believes a different direction is required.” MLV remains committed to San Diego and will “lead the effort to identify potential new investors” in the club, the Mojo said.
The Mojo are offering free tickets to fans who want to attend Thursday’s match at Viejas Arena. Fans can claim up to eight per person by visiting the team’s social media profiles and clicking the attached link.
The timing is particularly cruel. The Mojo (14-12) have thrived under first-year coach Alisha Childress, winning 13 of their last 19 matches and qualifying for the MLV Championship, a four-team tournament that will determine the league champion. The Mojo will play either the Dallas Pulse or Indy Ignite in the May 7 semifinals, with the winner advancing to the championship match.
The Mojo debuted in 2024, with a high-profile owner — beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh-Jennings — and a roster that included a mix of native San Diegans and international stars. Walsh-Jennings sold the club to Jacobs following the inaugural season, and the PVF merged with Major League Volleyball in January.
The Mojo’s shuttering is another blow to professional sports in the heart of San Diego.
Major League Rugby’s San Diego Legion moved north following the 2025 season, rebranding as the California Legion. The San Diego Sockers of the Major Arena Soccer League and the San Diego Strike Force of the Indoor Football League both relocated from Pechanga Arena to Oceanside’s Frontwave Arena when the new, smaller venue opened in 2024.
