A murder suspect who had been hospitalized for two weeks since falling ill at Vista Detention Facility died Thursday.

James Lawrence Pittman, 46, of Oceanside was found by his cellmate in apparent medical distress on Feb. 14, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

    Medical staffers evaluated Pittman, who seemed “disoriented and confused.” Paramedics took him to Palomar Medical Center Escondido, sheriff’s officials said, where doctors admitted him to intensive care. He remained there until his death.

    An autopsy conducted by the County Medical Examiner’s Office was inconclusive. The investigation continues to determine his cause and manner of death.

    Pittman had been in custody for more than two years, held in connection with the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old man in December 2022 at an Oceanside homeless camp.
