UPDATE: The man now listed in serious condition following a beating in the Big A parking lot has been identified as Alex Arredondo, 43, of Huntington Beach. The father of three had been a police officer until leaving the Los Angeles Police Department in 2012. Investigators have no reason to believe at this point that Arredondo's past employment with the LAPD had anything to do with the beating, according to Lt. Bob Dunn, the Anaheim Police spokesman. The search continues for the three attackers, but Dunn says there is no security camera footage from Angel Stadium nor suspect descriptions from the handful of witnesses who saw the incident.
