Assault Investigation in Jamul 

February 26, 2026 – San Diego County Sheriff's Office officials report that on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, the San Diego County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) conducted a joint operation and arrested 10 suspects wanted in connection with a violent assault that took place in Jamul in 2025.

On May 3, 2025, deputies from the Rancho San Diego Sheriff's Station responded to a report of an assault at a house party in the 14000 block of Proctor Valley Road. While deputies were responding to this incident, the Sheriff's Communications Center received further information stating the suspects were carrying firearms and that one of the assault victims was seeking medical assistance at a nearby fire station. 

Deputies responded to the fire station and contacted the victim, who was bleeding profusely from their head and face. The victim told deputies they were assaulted by a group of people and pistol whipped with a gun. The victim was taken to a hospital with major injuries.

During the ensuing investigation, it was determined nine of the 10 suspects involved in the 2025 assault were enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Many of these suspects were also associated with criminal street gangs.

Sheriff's Detectives contacted NCIS, which worked with the Sheriff's Office throughout the investigation.

During the February 24 joint operation with NCIS, detectives from the San Diego County Sheriff's Office, as well as members of the East County Gang Task Force (ECGTF), San Diego Fugitive Task Force (FTF) and Sheriff's Special Enforcement Detail (SED/SWAT) made arrests at Naval Air Station North Island, Naval Base San Diego, Naval Medical Center San Diego, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach and a home within the City of San Diego.

Five firearms and $20,000 in cash were also recovered during the operation.

The 10 suspects were arrested on several felony charges related to the assault and weapons possession. They were all booked into the San Diego Central Jail. 

The following suspects were arrested:

• Ksahno Isles
• Demario Ricks
• Isaiah Pearson
• Answer Adams
• Lawrence Hodge
• Jaharai Wiggins
• Robert Green
• Gary Cannon
• Eric Frierson
• Timothy Blair

The San Diego County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the U.S. NCIS for their assistance with the investigation and operation.
