PALMDALE \u2013 An autopsy is pending on a 62-year-old man who died after he was allegedly assaulted during a road rage incident in West Palmdale this past weekend, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Alberto Delpino<\/strong> of Palmdale died Tuesday, Jan. 28, in Antelope Valley Hospital\u2019s Intensive Care Unit, according to Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe information we have is that the decedent was involved in a physical altercation and he suffered blunt head trauma,\u201d Winter said, adding that an autopsy to be conducted later this week would determine Delpino\u2019s cause of death.<\/p>\n

Delpino was allegedly assaulting by two men during a road rage incident that occurred around 5 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 25) near Vicker Way and Avenue O-8 in Palmdale, sheriff\u2019s officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, he accidentally cut this guy off and then the suspect began to follow him. He didn\u2019t want the suspect to follow him home, so he stopped at Vicker Way and O-8,\u201d said Palmdale Community Relations deputy Jodi Wolfe. \u201cThe victim got out of the car to apologize and that\u2019s when he was attacked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suspects are described as two White males, one thin and one heavyset, who were in a beige or tannish-colored truck, Wolfe said, adding that no further description was available.<\/p>\n

Delpino went home after the alleged assault, but the 62-year-old was transported to Antelope Valley Hospital some time after \u00a0because \u201che was having some trouble,\u201d said Lt. Dolson of the Sheriff\u2019s Homicide Bureau. Dolson said homicide detectives were at Antelope Valley Hospital Tuesday night to investigate the circumstances surrounding Delpino\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t actually know that he died as a result of the alleged assault,\u201d Dolson said. \u201cWe\u2019re waiting on the coroner to conduct the autopsy and give us a determination of death, but we\u2019re investigating it like it is [a homicide],\u201d Dolson continued.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n
