A man was shot in the back Wednesday while paying respects to a late family member at a street-side memorial in Chula Vista.
The victim was shot while walking towards a restaurant on Third and Montgomery around 11 p.m., police said.
Police say the man had just finished paying respects to his cousin, 19-year-old Chuy Ponce who was gunned down outside a convenience store where he planned to get some midnight snacks.
Chula Vista police said someone opened fire on the group in the June 2014 shooting. Ponce was struck in the chest and his cousin was shot in the foot.
The victim in Wednesday's shooting has not been identified. He was taken to UCSD Hospital for non-life threatening injuries, officials said.
Investigators left markets on the street where several shell casings were left.
