Police said officers were called to the 2200 block of Pacific Beach Drive shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday in response to a reported shooting.
Officers arrived to find a man by the resort’s pool area with at least one gunshot wound to the chest. The victim, identified as a 49-year-old white male, was taken to the hospital but died from his injuries at 10:39 p.m., police confirmed.
In a news release, SDPD officials stated: “It is still early in the investigation but (SDPD Homicide Unit) Detectives have learned the victim was with a small group of people at a community swimming pool when a brief verbal confrontation occurred between the victim and a male.
