Police have arrested two suspects in connection with the shooting death of a National City man during a fight in the parking lot of a Miramar area bar, police said Sunday.
San Diego Police Department detectives identified the suspects as Samuel Victor Perez, 23, and Damani Jerry Wiltshirebeal, 22, according to police Lt. Andra Brown.
Detectives located Perez near his Mira Mesa residence and arrested him Saturday afternoon. They found Wiltshirebeal as he returned to his nearby residence that night. Both were booked into San Diego Central Jail Saturday on suspicion of felony first-degree murder.
Authorities identified the victim as Kyle Delangel, 37.
Both suspects were scheduled to be arraigned in Central Division Felony Court on Thursday.
Officers responded to The Filling Station bar in the 9500 block of Miramar Road around 2 a.m. Saturday after reports of the shooting, police said. The victim was taken to a hospital to undergo emergency surgery, but he later died.
The bar, previously known as the Off Base Bar, is near Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.
Homicide detectives learned the shooting victim engaged in an argument with two men as the bar was closing. The argument escalated when Delangel was struck by the vehicle containing the two men as they were leaving. When Delangel approached the driver’s side of the vehicle, one of the occupants shot him.
The vehicle, a black Chevrolet, fled northbound on Black Mountain Road.
Police asked that anyone with information on the shooting, call the homicide unit at 619-531-2293 or San Diego Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
