The San Diego Police Department said Kenneth Corley was suspected in the shooting death of Peter Cruz just before 1 a.m. on Wednesday in the 3500 block of Central Avenue.
The SDPD said officers responded to a report of a shooting at that location and found a man with a gunshot wound to his upper body on the sidewalk.
The victim, later identified by police as Cruz, was transported to a hospital, where he died several hours later, police said.
