A young man died after being shot several times Saturday night at a backyard get-together in Encanto.
The fatal shooting happened around 7:20 p.m. in the 2100 block of Winnett Street.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene despite efforts by paramedics, according to San Diego police. Police later identified the victim as 24-year-old Omar Anthony Largo.
Homicide investigators were on the scene Saturday night interviewing witnesses and collecting forensic evidence. Family and friends who were visibly upset gathered in the area.
Police were seen photographing at least one person and dusting his hands. However, no one is in custody, according to police.
Police said two men escaped after the shooting, but it’s unclear if they fled in a car or on foot. Officers hope witnesses will provide some clues.
“We do have several people that are here that were witnesses to the scene, to the incident, and we're talking to them right now,” said SDPD Lt. Paul Rorrison.
