SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The San Diego County Sheriff's Office says it responded to a fatal shooting in Lemon Grove Wednesday night.
According to the sheriff's office, deputies received several calls about gunshots in the 2200 block of Dain Court around 10:55 p.m. on Sept. 18. When they arrived on the scene, deputies found a 23-year-old man lying in the street with "at least one" gunshot wound to his torso.
Deputies and paramedics from the San Miguel Fire Department started giving lifesaving measures to the man; however, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman who lives nearby tells ABC 10News she was recording herself for work when she heard the commotion and dropped to the ground.
"What was going through my head was, 'Am I the one being targeted right now? Although it happened like six houses down, it did feel like this was happening at my own home,'" said Carla Reyes."It's really sad. I mean mourning the 23-year-old who passed away very young. I mean, that's unsettling."
She and other residents said this isn't the first time something this has happened in this neighborhood.
In mid-June, we reported a shooting in this same area.
Investigators said they are looking to see if the two shootings are connected.
The sheriff's office has an active homicide investigation into this incident. Deputies say there was no information about the suspect as of 11 a.m. Thursday.
