Newport Man Shot at Restaurant Dies
A man shot last week outside a Costa Mesa fast-food restaurant has died after being taken off life support, officials said Wednesday.
Miroslav Maric, 49, of Newport Beach died Tuesday afternoon at Western Medical Center-Santa Ana, a hospital spokeswoman said. Police and Orange County coroner’s officials, however, said he was declared dead Monday. Coroner’s officials confirmed Wednesday that an autopsy had been done.
Maric was shot Friday in the parking lot of a Jack in the Box on 17th Street. Ramadan Dokovic, 42, of Downey was arrested and booked into Costa Mesa Jail on suspicion of attempted murder.
Dokovic is accused of shooting Maric at least twice. Police are still investigating the incident.
