Man Killed Walking On San Diego Sidewalk

SAN DIEGO, CA — A 43-year-old man was shot to death Sunday while walking with a group on an East Village sidewalk.

The shooting occurred at about 3:05 p.m. Sunday in the 600 block of 16th Street, according to San Diego police Lt. Daniel Meyer.

"The suspect approached the group and shot the victim multiple times," Meyer said. "It does appear the suspect intentionally targeted the victim and not the people around him."

The suspect ran to a nearby silver or gray sedan and drove northbound, then eastbound toward the 94 Freeway, he said.

Arriving officers rendered aid to the victim until paramedics arrived and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name was not released pending notification of relatives.

Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call the Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
