Officials have publicly identified a man who was fatally shot last weekend in the Gaslamp District.
Patrol officers responding to reports of gunfire at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday found Antwan Bluthenthal, 46, mortally wounded in a third-floor hallway of a building at 701 Sixth Ave., according to the San Diego Police Department.
Bluthenthal died at the scene, SDPD Lt. Lou Maggi said.
When police arrived at the address, several people were on a sidewalk detaining 37-year-old Bryan Tyner, whom they identified as the shooter, and they directed officers to a handgun they reportedly had taken from him.
Tyner was arrested on suspicion of murder.
“Investigators have determined that although the shooting occurred on the third floor, both the victim and suspect had visited the Cielo Rooftop Lounge on the fifth floor, which is accessed via an elevator on the third floor,” Maggi said.
“The third floor houses a comedy club, which was reportedly closed at the time of the shooting.”
Police have disclosed no suspected motive for the deadly gunfire.
