Officers responding to reports of gunfire around 1:30 a.m. Oct. 5 found Ricardo Moran of San Diego and a 56-year-old man wounded on a sidewalk in the 1800 block of South 42nd Street, according to San Diego police.
Both victims were taken to a hospital, where Moran was pronounced dead.
The other man was treated for serious injuries at a hospital and released, police said.
