A man was found shot to death on the streets of Otay Mesa early Saturday morning, the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) confirmed.
Acting Lt. Manny Del Toro, of the SDPDโs Homicide Unit, said officers received a call just before 4 a.m. from a person reporting that a man was injured in the street in the 900 block of Picador Boulevard.
When police arrived, they discovered the 38-year-old man unconscious in the street, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body. Officers and medics tried to revive him, but they couldnโt save his life.
He died at the scene.
The homicide investigation into the manโs death is ongoing but Del Toro said residents reported hearing gunfire in the area and seeing a car speed off just before police found the victim.
As of 8:15 a.m. Saturday, the SDPD said there was no description available of a potential suspect or suspects in the deadly shooting.
The man is from Imperial Beach, police said, but his name was not immediately released.
