Suspects Enter Pleas on Home Invasion Charges

A father and son accused of shooting a man during a home invasion robbery Sunday night in Lemon Grove pleaded not guilty to robbery and burglary charges Wednesday in the El Cajon court.

The shooting left the man, an occupant of a home in the 1800 block of Bakersfield Street, critically wounded.

Gregory Alan Jewell, 49, is alleged to be the actual shooter. He was ordered held without bail and faces life in prison if convicted, said Deputy District Attorney Kristine Grimm.

His son, Joshua Alan Wineski, 22, is alleged to have been armed with an unloaded 12-gauge shotgun and provided “backup” for Jewell, Grimm  said.

Wineski, who is also accused of bludgeoning a witness with the shotgun, faces up to 16 years if convicted. He was ordered held on $500,000 bail.

A readiness conference is set for Aug. 19 and a preliminary hearing for Aug. 23.

The injured man was was shot multiple times on Sunday night, according to Jeff Weiss, a San Diego County Sheriff's Department communications supervisor.

Initially reported as a hot prowl at 10:16 p.m. Sunday, a witness intentionally punctured a tire on the suspects’ vehicle before they fled, authorities said. The sound of a vehicle being driven on a flat tire led sheriff’s deputies to the alleged gunmen, who were arrested near Lemon Grove Avenue and Broadway.

Weiss said two firearms were recovered from inside the vehicle.
