Tragedy struck in the heart of Fairmont Park late Wednesday night in a hit-and-run that left a white male adult in his mid-40s injured, the San Diego Police Department reported. The victim found bleeding in the roadway at 3900 Home Ave, was outside of a marked crosswalk when struck by an unknown vehicle that fled the scene. The man suffered a brain bleed and lacerations to his head and hands but is expected to survive.
According to the SDPD Watch Commander's Log, an individual, unrelated to the event, heard the collision and discovered the injured pedestrian, subsequently alerting the authorities. Traffic Division Investigators are now managing the case, while any suspect description or vehicle information remains elusive. The injured pedestrian, found by the witness laying down in the roadway, was transported to a local hospital where his injuries were deemed non-life threatening.
The very next morning, a shooting incident rattled the Lake Murray neighborhood at 8498 Hudson Dr. At approximately 5:00 AM, Eastern Division officers responded to a radio call alerting them to an active shooting scene. A confrontation turned violent when one of the residents attempted to thwart a home invasion by two or three suspects wearing ski masks and dark clothing. During the struggle, the gun one suspect wielded discharged, wounding the 34-year-old male resident in the left leg.
"Eastern Division officers responded to a radio call of a shooting at the above address," the SDPD detailed. Wearing ski masks and dark clothing, the suspects invaded the home resulting in a struggle with one of the residents, who sustained a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the leg. Robbery detectives are now at the helm of the investigation, and the question of stolen property remains up in the air as the perpetrators fled the location post-haste.
The San Diego community is urged by law enforcement to come forward with any insights that could help in these investigations. Anyone with information about either incident is encouraged to contact the SDPD or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
