YUCAIPA -- A man died from head trauma, allegedly at the hands of his girlfriend's son, at a mobile home park late Friday afternoon, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call at 5:53 p.m. at the mobile home park, in the 12300 block of Fourth Street. They found 58-year-old David Kirkpatrick laying on the floor and suffering from a head wound, according to a sheriff's news release.

Kirkpatrick's girlfriend and her 26-year-old son, David Matteson, were present at the scene upon deputies' arrival. Both lived at the residence with Kirkpatrick, sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers said.

Kirkpatrick was pronounced dead at the scene.

Deputies arrested Matteson in connection with the death.

Matteson was booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, where he is being held without bail. He is scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in San Bernardino Superior Court.
