EPD investigating assault on local older attorney that occurred in office parking lot

Eureka Police Department is investigating an assault on a prominent, local family law attorney and I was told by sources there is a suspect. Older male, fit and a former marine. He was hit at in the back of the head in the parking lot of his office and has broken ribs.

EPD is investigating and each case is different. Since this is an ongoing investigation, EPD is limited in what they can release and confirm. EPD did not release the name. People in the legal community know. 

3/28: It has been a couple of days and several people know and have expressed well wishes so I am updating the post that it was Mr. Delman Smith and his office is at 1026 3rd S. He is at home now.

4/1: No suspect. EPD is still investigating.
