Authorities Thursday publicly identified two men who were shot this week, one fatally, in front of a neighborhood market near Mount Hope Cemetery.

Patrol officers responding to reports of gunfire shortly after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday found Jimmie Lee Roberts III, wounded in the 3600 block of Ocean View Boulevard, according to the San Diego Police Department.

Roberts, 27, died at the scene.

The second victim, Dion Harrison, 54, arrived at a hospital later in the afternoon, suffering from non-life-threatening gunshot injuries, Lt. Andra Brown said.

Homicide detectives have determined that the victims, both San Diego residents, were standing on the roadside when three men with handguns approached and at least one opened fire. The trio then ran off, as did Harrison, Brown said.

Police have disclosed no suspected motive for the shooting, nor have they released no detailed descriptions of the gunmen.
