San Diego police are investigating after a man was found fatally shot near the Ocean Beach Pier early Saturday morning, officials said.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to a 911 call about gunshots near Niagara Avenue and Ocean Front Way at 12:23 a.m. Saturday, where they found the victim shot, according to the San Diego Police Department.<\/p>\n
Officers and paramedics tried to save the unidentified man, estimated to be in his 30s, but he died at the scene, according to detectives.<\/p>\n
Investigators learned there was a group of at least two men and two women, all aged 25-30 years old, who were hanging out in the area of the pier parking lot for a period of time before walking south to 5100 Narragansett Ave. near the shoreline, according to police.<\/p>\n
After the shots, the group returned to the pier parking lot, got into two vehicles and drove away east on Newport Avenue. The vehicles were described as a white sedan and blue and\/or grey SUV. One of the vehicles may have struck another vehicle as it left the area, police said.<\/p>\n
Homicide detectives were called to the scene to investigate and were interviewing witnesses and canvassing the area for security video.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information regarding the shooting was asked to call the Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego police are investigating after a man was found fatally shot near the Ocean Beach Pier early…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[7,138,181,23,100,74,84,76,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-44497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-california","9":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","10":"tag-latest-headlines","11":"tag-local-news","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-san-diego","14":"tag-san-diego-county","15":"tag-san-diego-headlines","16":"tag-san-diego-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44497"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44497\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
