A man told police he was sitting in a parked vehicle in the area of Santa Fe Avenue and Summit Street just before 8 p.m. Wednesday night when someone shot him and fled, officials said.
It’s unclear if the suspect fled by foot or in a vehicle and police did not have a description available.
Paramedics took the victim to a local hospital with a non life-threatening gunshot wound to his upper body, police spokeswoman Allison Gallagher said.
Officers found a bullet casing in the area, which is between Cabrillo High School and the West Division police station, she said. Additional details were not available and police do not know a motive for the shooting.
