The two victims in the shooting Saturday evening in a Colina del Sol shopping center were identified Sunday.
Dionte Floyd, 31, was killed in the shooting that happened just before 6 p.m. in the parking lot of Aztec Liquor located at 5225 El Cajon Blvd. near 52nd Street, according to the San Diego Police Department. The area is home to a small shopping center that also includes a pho restaurant.
Dashe Wallace, 38, was also wounded in the shooting but was expected to recover, Lt. Anthony Dupree said.
A fight broke out between two groups of men before the shooting started, he said.
Responding officers found Floyd and Wallace on the ground with gunshot wounds in the upper body and administered first aid until paramedics arrive and took over, the lieutenant said.
Floyd died of his wounds at the hospital, Dupree said.
It was unknown how many shots were fired.
