Authorities held a 20-year-old man behind bars Friday in connection with the fatal shooting of another man in Spring Valley.
They booked George Gomez III of San Diego Thursday on suspicion of second-degree murder for allegedly gunning down Dante Lopez, 42.
Deputies responding to a report of gunfire at about 11:15 p.m. Sunday found Lopez mortally wounded in the 1000 block of Elkelton Boulevard, near state Route 125, sheriff’s Lt. Thomas Seiver said.
Paramedics took the San Diego resident to a trauma center, where doctors pronounced him dead, Seiver said.
Gomez remains in San Diego Central Jail without bail pending arraignment, scheduled for Wednesday.
