San Diego homicide detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of a man on a Barrio Logan sidewalk near Chicano Park Tuesday night, officials said.
Police were called after someone reported seeing a man’s body on a sidewalk around 10:05 p.m. along National Avenue near the park.
When officers arrived, they found the victim on the ground and provided medical aid, but the 64-year-old man did not survive, said homicide Lt. Lou Maggi. The victim’s name was not released pending notification of family members.
The gunman, thought to be in his 20s, fled north into Chicano Park, Maggi said.
Detectives planned to spend Wednesday collecting evidence and looking for witnesses to the shooting.
Anyone with information was asked to call investigators at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
