SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Police have identified the suspect after a man and a woman were killed, and a third victim hospitalized during a shooting in Point Loma Wednesday.

The suspect was identified as William Bushey, 60. Police also went into more detail about the victims killed in the shooting.

"They appear to be a white woman approximately in her 60s and a white man approximately in his 30s," police said.

"The third victim is described as a white female in her 80s. She had walked out to the street as officers arrived. Officers began rendering medical aid until paramedics arrived and transported her to a local hospital with serious injuries," police added.

The woman is in stable condition and is expected to survive.

Police said the deadly shooting happened just before 4 p.m. in the 3600 block of Zola Street.

"The initial information indicates that this event is family-related as the suspect is the son of the surviving victim, and it is believed they both live at the residence. The exact details of what happened and why remain under investigation."

San Diego Police said officers recovered what they believe was a shotgun near the front of the house. Several people in the area called police, including the shooter, police added.

On Thursday, 10News spoke with close friends of one of the victims who died. They were seen placing flowers at the home.

“She was at my house the day before this happened," said one woman, tearfully. She says her friend had tried to contact authorities previously about the suspected shooter, and that she was fearful something like this might happen.

The SDPD Homicide Unit is investigating the incident. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
