A San Diego man was arrested at the U.S.-Mexico border, suspected in a fatal shooting witnessed by police in Colina del Sol.<\/p>\n
SAN DIEGO \u2014 A 34-year-old man was recently arrested in connection with a homicide that occurred in San Diego’s Colina del Sol neighborhood in 2023, authorities said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Around 7:45 p.m. on Dec. 21, 2023, two officers were driving on the 4900 block of El Cajon Boulevard when they witnessed a shooting, according to the San Diego Police Department.<\/p>\n
Police said an unknown suspect fired from the passenger side of a dark- colored SUV and sped away westbound on El Cajon Boulevard. Officers saw a downed victim on the street and stopped to render aid while notifying other units in the area to look for the vehicle, they said.<\/p>\n
Paramedics transported San Diego resident Kevin Billingsley, 35, to a hospital, where he later died from at least one gunshot wound to the upper body.<\/p>\n
Detectives indicated Billingsley was riding a bicycle westbound on El Cajon Boulevard, and the SUV was also traveling in the same direction on the same street prior to the shooting.<\/p>\n
“There was some sort of interaction between the victim and the occupants of the SUV, possibly an argument,” the department said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The driver of the SUV, later identified Jose Campas, was detained on Tuesday as he attempted to cross into the U.S. from Mexico at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry.<\/p>\n
Campas was booked into county jail for his role in Billingsley’s murder.<\/p>\n
A description of the other suspect or suspects involved in the shooting was not immediately available.<\/p>\n
The relationship between the victim and suspects, if any, was unclear.<\/p>\n
