A man was shot to death in Oceanside early Saturday morning, collapsing on the porch of an apartment, police confirmed.

Officers with the Oceanside Police Department (OPD) were called to the 800 block of Langford Street at around 2 a.m. after multiple reports of shots fired in the area.

When officers arrived in the neighborhood, a man in his 20s led police to a man on the porch of an upstairs apartment who was suffering from gunshot wounds.

Police said the victim – an Oceanside resident in his late 20s – had been shot at a nearby location and somehow managed to make his way to the porch of the apartment before collapsing. The man succumbed to his injuries at the scene, the OPD said.

As of 12:40 p.m. Saturday, police said the suspect in this deadly shooting remained at large. Several police cars remained at Langford Street. Family members and friends of the victim were grieving at the scene.
