OKLAHOMA CITY (Free Press) — The Oklahoma City Police Department is investigating the eventual death from what they believe was a beating on the south side.
Officers were called to the Plaza Inn, 3200 S. Prospect Avenue, July 1 to check the welfare of someone seen there who had been injured.
Upon arrival, the officers found Jesus Diaz-Aguirre, a 43-year-old male, showing “injuries consistent with an assault where the victim sustained severe head trauma,” the press release said.
Diaz-Aquirre was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
