La Mesa Police are investigating the shooting death of a 25-year-old man who succumbed of his wounds early Saturday in the 7500 block of High Street.
Police say they received a 9-1-1 call at about 12:02 a.m. claiming that a man had been seen staggering across the street, then falling down in the driveway of an apartment complex.
“Responding officers found the male and discovered he had several gunshot wounds to the upper torso,” police said in a statement. First aid was administered but the victim — whose identity has yet to be released — died at the scene.
A light-colored sedan was seen traveling westbound on High Street shortly before the 9-1-1 call was made, but it is unknown whether the vehicle is related to the incident, investigators said.
Police said that anyone with information about the incident should call 619-667-1400.
