SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — A shooting in the 500 block of E Street in Chula Vista left one man dead Wednesday morning, according to police.
The incident happened just before 10 a.m. Police say they received a 911 call that a shooting occurred involving two vehicles. A male driver shot another male driver and fled the scene going westbound on E Street towards the I-5, according to the Chula Vista Police Department.
Police told CBS 8 the two men got out of their vehicles on E street, there was some sort of confrontation, and the suspect shot the victim.
Emergency crews found the victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the driver's seat of his car.
The shooting took place in front of a Jiffy Lube. The victim's vehicle, a black Nissan Altima, was still in the street when police arrived. His personal belongings were still in his car. His cell phone was plugged into a charger. His wallet was on top of the hood of the car.
There were two shell casings lying just feet away from the vehicle.
Neighbors tell CBS 8 they heard two gunshots.
The victim was described by police as a Hispanic male in his 30s. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead. His name has not yet been released.
Police say the suspect fled the scene in a silver or grey four-door sedan, possibly a Nissan.
Chula Vista Police describe the suspect as a 5'9" to 5'10" Hispanic male with a medium build and short hair.
It is unclear what led to the shooting. Police say they don't know if it was random, or if the victim and suspect knew each other.
