SAN DIEGO — A man was fatally shot in San Ysidro Friday night and no suspects have been taken into custody as of Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

According to the San Diego Police Department, a call came in around 10:20 p.m. reporting a shooting in front of a residence in the 100 block of East Park Avenue.

Responding officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body and performed life-saving measures until paramedics from San Diego Fire-Rescue arrived, authorities explained.

The victim, identified as a 20-year-old man, was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased at 11:06 p.m., according to officials. His identity is being withheld pending notification of family.

During their preliminary investigation, SDPD said they discovered that the victim was confronted by suspects in a vehicle before he was shot. Authorities say the vehicle and its occupants reportedly sped away from the area following the shooting.
