The San Diego Sheriff's Department is looking for a suspect who shot a man and left the scene Friday in unincorporated Escondido.

The suspect was last seen leaving the area in a silver Volkswagen SUV near Hidden Meadows Road. Police describe the suspect as a male, in his 40s with short gray hair and 5 feet 10 inches tall. He is described as thin build, wearing a T-shirt.

SDSO says the suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
