San Diego man, 23, is arrested after 'dragging his wife into the ocean before trying to bury her ALIVE on the beach during heated argument'

 A 23-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly attacking his wife during an argument at Coronado Beach before beating her, attempting to throw her into the ocean and burying her alive in the sand.

Jose Luis Mares III, from San Diego, California, was arrested shortly after 9pm on Wednesday after his wife phoned 911 to report that he had just tried to kill her on the beach.

Officers responded and found the badly-injured woman on the sidewalk who was then taken to a trauma center in San Diego.

The suspect, who was a parolee previously convicted for carjacking and burglary, was later located hiding in the backyard of a nearby home.

He was arrested and charged with attempted murder, assault causing great bodily injury, domestic violence, false imprisonment and parole violation. 


The victim told investigators that she and her husband had arrived at the beach earlier in the evening but soon got into an argument.

She claims Mares became enraged before assaulting her and trying to drag her into the surf along the waterfront. 

He is said to have then took her toward a lifeguard tower and tried burying her alive in the sand.  

'She said there was a hole in the ground and the hole had previously been there from probably kids digging it during the day.

'But during the struggle, she said he threw her in that hole when he began putting sand on top of her,' Detective Ryan Brennan with the Coronado Police Department told Fox5.

The victim also told police that her husband had repeatedly kicked her but had suddenly stopped and ran away.

'We don't know what scared him away. Perhaps it was someone walking by,' Brennan added. 

Mares was booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion attempted murder, assault causing great bodily injury, domestic violence, false imprisonment and parole violation.

He is being held without bail pending arraignment which is scheduled for March 5.

Mares was a parolee previously convicted for carjacking and burglary, according to the California Department of Corrections.
