On October 23, 2009, Damon Nicholson, 41, a catering manager at the Hotel Laguna, was killed during a home robbery in Laguna Beach, California.  According to police, the victim knew at least one of the men who killed him. 

On December 4, 2009, his second attacker, Jacob Quintanilla, 20, was arrested by the Laguna Beach Police Department.  He has been booked on suspicion of murder. Police say Quintanilla was allegedly present while Matthew Dragna, 19, perpetrated the crime.   The duo then robbed the man’s home, taking everything of value they could find, including a laptop computer, clothing and a phone.

Nicholson was discovered by a co-worker who dropped by his home to check up on him and found his body. Dragna was taken into custody at a drug rehabilitation center this past November and initially taken to the Laguna Beach jail, but was transferred after not being bailed out to the Orange County Jail.  Apparently Nicholson had met him on a website and befriended him.  Damon Nicholson was a popular, longtime Laguna Beach resident.
