An employee of a local business allegedly tried to kill a customer in his Arden Arcade home Thursday afternoon, leaving him with life-threatening injuries, police said.

The suspect was identified Friday morning by the Sheriff’s Office as Sean Timothy Warren, 38, of Rocklin. He is being held in the Sacramento County jail with no bail, facing a charge of attempted murder.

Warren allegedly assaulted the customer with an unknown object in his home on the 3800 block on Sandra Court near Watt Avenue and Auburn Boulevard and fled the scene, according to Sgt. Tess Deterding of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.

The victim, a man in his 60s, was transported to a hospital with visible injury to his upper body, according to a news release from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.

After fleeing the home, Warren told another person at a different location that he had just killed someone, Deterding said. At 1:24 p.m., the sheriff’s office received a call from the business that one of their employees had told them about his crime, according to the release.
