A shooting in San Diego's O'Farrell neighborhood left a 29-year-old woman hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds. The incident occurred near a taco shop at 6200 Imperial Avenue last night, per a press release issued by the San Diego Police Department. The altercation that escalated to the shooting appeared to begin with an argument between the victim and the suspect for reasons not immediately clear.
Officer Buttle, serving as the Watch Commander, indicated in the report obtained by SFist that after the dispute, the suspect, described only as an adult female clad in dark clothing with boots and toting a white purse, brandished a firearm and shot the victim several times. The victim suffered injuries to her stomach and arm and was reported to be in stable condition following surgery. The suspect managed to evade capture at the scene.
Investigators were able to collect six .380 shell casings as evidence of the violence that had unfolded. Southeastern Detectives have taken the helm of the ongoing investigation. The police have not yet identified the suspect and have called upon the community for any information that might lead to an arrest.
The circumstances surrounding the argument and subsequent shooting remain murky.
