A 42-year-old man was shot in the leg early Friday near an East Village intersection, police said.
It happened shortly after 1:05 a.m. near the intersection of J and 16th streets, said San Diego police Officer Tony Martinez.
The man was walking along the north sidewalk of J Street when he was shot once in the leg, Martinez said.
The victim didn’t call 911 and instead had a friend take him to a hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Martinez said.
No detailed suspect description was immediately available.
Detectives with the San Diego Police Department’s central division were investigating the shooting.
