Kinda hard to suspend judgment against someone who beats up an amputee with a crutch, but until all the facts are known, its best to err on the side of caution and get the whole story... (San Diego) No charges filed in beating of homeless amputee

SAN DIEGO – Prosecutors did not file charges Thursday against a man suspected of beating a homeless amputee to death with a crutch in downtown San Diego.

Further investigation is needed to determine whether Ross Ivy, 27, will be charged with murder, said Paul Levikow, a spokesman for the District Attorney's Office.

Ivy was arrested about 3 p.m. Tuesday on E Street near Eighth Avenue in connection with the death of Gregary Willis, 41.

Witnesses told police that Willis and Ivy were arguing on F Street near Eighth Avenue just before midnight. They fought, and Ivy picked up Willis' crutch and hit him with it, police said.

Willis died at a trauma center.
