SAN DIEGO – Two men in their 20s were shot Tuesday night and one of them is not expected to survive, police said.

The victims, ages 20 and 28 were standing with a group of friends in front of an apartment building on College Avenue near Newsome Drive in Redwood Village just before 11 p.m. when several shots were fired, said acting Lt. William Stetson.

The 28-year-old was hit in the head and was gravely injured, Stetson said. The 20-year-old walked to a hospital, where he was treated for a gunshot wound and released.

Police were given conflicting reports as to what happened and are not sure if the men were approached by a group of men or were shot at by just one assailant.

Stetson said evidence at the scene indicates that more that one gun was fired and it is possible that gunfire was exchanged.

Witnesses told police they saw vehicles leaving the area and also saw people running away.

Several people were taken into custody on unrelated charges but no one has been arrested in connection with the shooting, Stetson said.

The identities of the victims have not been released.

Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477 where they can remain anonymous.
