SAN DIEGO — Two people, including a man and teenage boy, were arrested Thursday in a deadly shooting behind the North Clairemont Recreation Center, authorities said.

Julian Vargas, 19, and a 14-year-old boy whom police did not name because he is a child were taken behind bars, Lt. Adam Sharki said in a news release.

The incident occurred Feb. 19 around 11:50 a.m. in the 4400 block of Bannock Avenue, where officers found a man in the grassy area of the park with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body, according to police.

The victim, 22-year-old Cesar Lopez-Sandoval, died at a hospital, per SDPD. Lopez-Sandoval was a San Diego-based rapper, according to his family.

During the investigation, detectives determined Vargas and the teenage boy as suspects in the case.
