LA PRESA, Calif. (KGTV) — A man was killed and a suspect was being sought late Thursday after a reported shooting in the East County.
San Diego County Sheriff's Department officials said the shooting was reported just before 5:30 p.m. in the 1500 block of Presioca Street in the La Presa area, just south of Spring Valley.
As homicide detectives were en route to the scene, deputies were still searching for the suspect responsible.
The victim, an adult male, was found lying in the street "with trauma to his upper body," according to sheriff's officials. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
