The Santee homicide investigation at Grand Fork Drive has additional detail. Deputies responded to a call in the 10800 block of Grand Fork Drive on Monday afternoon — less than a mile from Santana High School — and found Gregory Roundy with traumatic injuries. Paramedics pronounced him dead at approximately 2:30 p.m. His grandson, Derek Spratley, 25, was injured at the property, treated at a hospital, and subsequently arrested and booked into San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of murder. Authorities have not announced a suspected motive or described the circumstances of the confrontation and characterize the case as isolated with no continuing public threat. The next qualifying developments to watch are an arraignment, a charging decision, or a bail ruling. Anyone with relevant information can contact the Sheriff's Homicide Unit at 858-285-6330 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.

Santee families planning to attend tonight's outdoor screening of A Minecraft Movie at Town Center Community Park East should be aware of access constraints before leaving home. The YMCA footbridge is closed due to Santee Community Center construction, and parking is accordingly limited. Organizers advise early arrival and suggest confirming any last-minute changes in advance. The forecast for Santee calls for a high near 82 degrees this afternoon cooling to around 65 tonight — comfortable conditions for an outdoor event once the sun sets.

Also from East County: Santana High School's volleyball team swept Olympian 2–0 in a nonleague match to improve to 11–4, with a Grossmont Hills matchup against Steele Canyon next on the schedule. At El Capitan High School in Lakeside, Senior College Application Launch Day is set for 8 a.m. Tuesday, September 22, and a blood drive follows Thursday, September 24, also at 8 a.m.
