SAN DIEGO — San Diego police are investigating what led to an early morning shooting Saturday at a Halloween party near San Diego State University.

Authorities were called to the 6000 block of Pembroke Drive around 1:37 a.m. following reports of a shooting, according to Officer D. O'Brien with the San Diego Police Department. 

A group of people arrived at the party and began causing a scene, Officer D. O'Brien said. The disturbance led to a physical altercation between the people inside the party.

A person from the group causing the disturbance brandished a gun and fired three shots, according to police. 

Video from OnScene.TV showed at least one person being transported to an area hospital. 

Police confirmed a 22-year-old man was shot in the arm, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. 

In 2021, a 16-year-old boy was left partially blind after being shot at another party near San Diego State University.  

Last year, SDSU and the surrounding areas were overrun by a "plague of parties," University President Adela de la Torre said during a press conference. 

The suspect accused in the shooting is described as a Hispanic man in his 20's, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and heavyset, according to police. 

Anyone with information is encouraged to call San Diego Police or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
