San Diego police investigators said a 25-year-old man who was discovered in a crashed car in Oak Park late Thursday had been shot after an argument with two men and later died.
Police and fire crews responded at 10:54 p.m. Thursday to a single-vehicle accident at 60th Street and Michael Street, according to SDPD Lt. Steve Shebloski.
"Upon arriving, they found a vehicle along the west curb line that had crashed into a fence and an unresponsive male in the driver's seat," Shebloski said. "Upon removing the male from the vehicle, it was determined the male was suffering from a single gunshot wound to his upper body."
Paramedics performed life-saving measures before taking the victim to a hospital, the lieutenant said. The man was later pronounced dead.
