(07-02) 14:42 PDT Rodeo - -- A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the dragging death of a 69-year-old man during an attempted carjacking, authorities said Thursday.
Cordero Kelly, 19, of Rodeo was being held at the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez in lieu of $1.1 million bail.
James Gilbeaux, a Rodeo resident who walked with a cane, was dragged 150 feet after Kelly tried to carjack a pickup truck driven by a friend of Gilbeaux's, sheriff's officials said.
The incident began shortly after 4 p.m. on June 23, when Gilbeaux was on the 1000 block of Mariposa Street in Rodeo and asked for a ride from a 28-year-old friend, David Delgado, authorities said.
Gilbeaux, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, was a grandfather figure in the neighborhood whom everyone called "Pops."
