At approximately two o'clock Monday morning, San Diego police responded to the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Garnet Avenue — just steps from Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach — after reports of gunfire. One victim was transported to a hospital and has since died. As of early Monday, no suspect was in custody, the victim's identity had not been released, and investigators had not described the circumstances leading up to the shooting. Traffic restrictions remained around the scene.
The area around Mission and Garnet is dense restaurant and bar territory, and the timing — Sunday night into the early hours of Monday morning — places the incident in one of the neighborhood's most active stretches. Whether the shooting was targeted or random, and whether witnesses were present, remained unknown as the investigation entered its earliest hours.
SDPD is at the very beginning of what could be a complex investigation. The department has provided no further details on motive, weapon, or the victim's background.
