Homicide detectives sought Thursday to track down a suspect who fatally shot another man during a late-night fight in Ocean Beach.
The shooting took place in the 5000 block of Newport Avenue shortly before 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to the San Diego Police Department.
The victim, whose identity has not been released, died at the scene from at least one gunshot wound to his upper body.
“Investigators have learned the (victim) was involved in a confrontation with two men in a parking lot,” SDPD Lt. Lou Maggi said. “The victim punched one of the men, at which time the second man produced a handgun and shot (him).”
At that point, the killer and his companion fled to the west down a nearby alley, then to the north toward Santa Monica Avenue, Maggi said.
Police have released no detailed descriptions of the shooter or his cohort.
