20-year-old woman killed in shooting at house party in La Jolla identified

The victim has been identified as Nina Silver of San Diego.

SAN DIEGO — Police Monday released the name of a 20-year-old woman killed in a weekend shooting at a house party in La Jolla.

Nina Silver, a San Diego resident, died Sunday after being shot by an unknown assailant, said Lt. Anthony Dupree of the San Diego Police Department.

Three men were wounded by the assailant in a vehicle that drove by them while they were standing near a house party in La Jolla, Dupree said. A group of people were standing near the east alley in the 7500 block of Cuvier Street when a light-colored sedan drove north in the alley and an occupant from the car fired several rounds at the victims, Dupree said.

Officers dispatched to the scene a little before 12:40 a.m and discovered Silver and an unidentified 23-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body, Dupree said.

Silver was pronounced dead at an area hospital, and the 23-year-old man was listed in stable but serious condition, police said.

"Cant' believe she is gone. This is heartbreaking. She was such a kind person with a beautiful smile - always smiling and happy," wrote a friend online. 

Another person who claims to have been at the same party with Nina Silver wrote: "I am sorry this happened. Like, you wasn't (sic) even the problem or anything - just someone trying to have fun."

Two other victims, both 19-year-old men, arrived at different hospitals with gunshot wounds to the upper body. Both were listed in stable condition.

"These are things coming so close to home. It is so concerning that this happened here where we don't have these instances, but it can happen anywhere. I doesn't matter who you are or where you are," said Dr. Michelle Carcel. 

Dupree said there is no description of the occupants in the vehicle. San Diego police homicide detectives asked anyone with information regarding the shooting to call them at 619-531-2293.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with funeral costs for Nina.
