An hours-long standoff that began with a search warrant early Tuesday in City Heights ended in the arrest of a fourth and final suspect, San Diego Police said.
Officers evacuated residents and locked down 44th Street between Maple and Olive streets beginning at 6 a.m., San Diego police confirm.
An NBC 7 Facebook user spotted officers in full body gear with guns drawn.
Officers were serving a felony warrant for narcotics and weapons charges.
Several people were inside the home including some family members of the suspects.
By 11 a.m., three individuals sought by police - two men and one woman - were taken into custody. Another 17-year-old was arrested on a separate juvenile detention warrant.
There was a fourth man inside. He was not connected to the original felony warrant and still refused to leave the apartment.
