The man found gunned down in his SUV at a City Heights intersection has been identified by police.
Forty-five-year-old Alberto Sanchez was discovered in the driver’s seat early Wednesday morning with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper torso, according to San Diego Police officials.
He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
The shooting happened at the intersection of 41st St. and Orange Ave., and in that area, officers picked up a person of interest-- a man in his 20s on a bicycle. That man was later released.
A preliminary investigation revealed the suspect fired several rounds at Sanchez, according to police. The suspect is descrbed as a dark-skinned man wearing a dark colored sweatshirt with jeans.
Two hours after the shooting, a member of Sanchez’s family arrived and, appearing distraught, had to be help back from the crime scene.
A neighbor told NBC 7 that Sanchez’s SUV is often parked in that neighborhood, though he didn’t know the owner.
