After nearly two years of relentless detective work, the San Diego Police Department has made significant headway in a 2022 homicide case with the recent arrest of one suspect and the additional booking of two others already in custody. The shooting, which claimed the life of Jimmie Lee Roberts III and injured Dion Harrison, was gang-related according to SDPD's findings. Officers arriving on the scene found Roberts with fatal gunshot wounds, while Harrison managed to escape with non-life-threatening injuries.
Following the incident, which occurred at 3600 Ocean View Boulevard on February 15, 2022, the investigation led by San Diego Homicide Detectives identified three Black male suspects allegedly responsible for the attack. According to a report by the SDPD, Oshea Jones, 24, Leashaye Turman, 20. and Haben Haile, 25, approached the victims before opening fire and fleeing the scene. The suspects left Roberts fatally wounded and Harrison scrambling for his life.
The breakthrough came on December 18, when Oshea Jones was arrested in the 700 block of Third Avenue. In a stroke of fortuity, Turman and Haile were already behind bars for unrelated offenses. Following Jones's capture, they have been additionally charged with murder in connection to the 2022 shooting. According to police documents, the deceased, Jimmie Lee Roberts III, was a 27-year-old San Diego resident, and the surviving victim, Dion Harrison, is a 54-year-old who has since recovered from his injuries.
The San Diego Police Department continues to appeal to the public for any additional information regarding this case. Interested individuals can contact the Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or provide anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
