SAN DIEGO, CA — A 20-year-old man who was fatally shot at a College Area apartment Wednesday has been identified, police said Saturday.

The victim was identified as Noah Long of San Diego, said Lt. Matt Dobbs of the San Diego Police Homicide Unit.

The identity of another man who was shot in the incident has not been released. Dobbs said the victim is still hospitalized but is expected to survive.

The shooting was reported shortly before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Aztec Pacific Apartments in the 6600 block of Montezuma Road, near El Cajon Boulevard, according to San Diego police.
