Victim of Brutal San Ramon Attack Recovering, Community Rallies to Help

SAN RAMON, CA — The community is rallying to raise money for a man who was seriously injured after he was allegedly attacked in front of his San Ramon home earlier this month. Police said Casey Pletz was bleeding from numerous lacerations and injuries throughout his face and body when they found him on October 14.

“The victim stated he confronted several teenagers who were causing a disturbance on the school playground and on the access trail between Walt Disney Elementary and Pebble Place,” police officials said in a statement. “While speaking with one of the individuals, the victim was struck in the head by one of the suspects. Multiple suspects began punching and kicking the victim and ultimately a suspect choked the victim until he lost consciousness.”

According to police, the victim suffered a broken nose, a fractured cheekbone, a bruised kidney, and numerous lacerations and bruising throughout his body. Four suspects were arrested in connection with the alleged attack. All four are accused of multiple charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and felony battery.

Pletz is recovering but friends say he has a long road ahead of him. A Go Fund Me Page established on Oct. 19 has garnered $17,840 to help with Pletz’ medical costs.
