Long Beach police have arrested a trespasser suspected of beating up a man so severely that he died from his injuries days later, authorities announced Friday.

U.S. Marshals helped arrest 46-year-old Cleveland Rogers at or outside a Denny’s on Atlantic Avenue just north of the 405 Freeway Thursday night, according to jail records.

Police said they tied Rogers to the death of a 66-year-old Long Beach resident Lewis Haller.

Rogers was an “unwelcome guest” at Haller’s apartment on Alamitos Avenue just north of Seventh Street on the night of Feb. 5, police said.

The two ended up getting into an argument before Rogers attacked Haller, according to authorities.

At some point Haller was kicked in the face, according to court documents.

When officers arrived at Haller’s home that night, he told them he didn’t want to press charges and didn’t want to be taken to the hospital, police said.

The next day, however, Haller went to the hospital after getting ill and throwing up after parking his car, according to a search warrant filed at Long Beach Superior Court.

Haller appeared to be suffering from a brain bleed, something that can be caused by a blow to the head, an officer wrote in the warrant.

He died at the hospital Feb. 12, police said.

Police didn’t say how they identified Rogers as a suspect. The two men didn’t have any prior relationship, LBPD spokeswoman Jennifer De Prez said.

The search warrant, however, mentions there was security camera footage that may have recorded the attack.

Rogers is a Compton resident, according to police, but jail records also list him as a transient. They also say he worked as a window washer.

He was booked on suspicion of murder and various warrants including urinating or defecating in public and failing to appear in court, according to jail records.

He’s being held in lieu of $2,062,461 bail and is set to appear in court soon to face one count of murder, authorities said.

At least one of the units in the four-plex where Haller lived was raided in a meth-selling bust days after he was beat up, but police said that appeared to be a coincidence and not related to the killing.
