3 articles · Updated · NBC San Diego · Jun 22

Summary

  • Four suspects in a dark sedan remained at large after a teenager was shot in the leg around 2:15 p.m. near Genesee Avenue and Mount Etna Drive in Clairemont.
  • Security video obtained by NBC 7 shows the shooting, and police hope the car can be identified from the footage as officers work ALPR data and witness-provided plate details.
  • Five shots appear on video, though most witnesses reported four; police said the gunfire came from a passenger seat and no suspect descriptions were immediately available.
  • Sharp Memorial Hospital took the teen for treatment, while the shooting shut down traffic for hours and prompted police to urge drivers to use alternate routes.
  • SDPD said the attack is not tied to other recent crime in the area and is still examining whether the teen had any interaction with the passing car.
