A 28-year-old man who had been spraying graffiti on a wall in the Logan Heights area of San Diego was hospitalized Wednesday morning with two gunshot wounds to his left leg.

The victim was tagging a wall at 30th Street and National Avenue about 10 p.m. Tuesday when the suspect walked up to him and the two began arguing.

A short time later the suspect shot the victim twice, then ran from the scene, according to Officer Robert Heims of the San Diego Police Department.

The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds.

A detailed description of the shooter was not disclosed.

It was unclear if the shooting was gang-related.
