SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The San Diego Police Department says it made an arrest after one person was injured and another was killed in a shooting in Barrio Logan Friday night.
SDPD says it arrested Ramiro Cervantes, 45, in connection to the shooting at around 11 p.m. when he surrendered to SWAT and the emergency negotiation team.
Officers initially responded to the 2100 block of Logan Avenue around 7:40 p.m. when they received a report of a shooting. A 36-year-old man was at a local restaurant when a bullet passed through a wall and hit him in the head.
Police say fortunately, the man's injuries were not life threatening.
Officers then searched the area for more victims and the suspect. They noticed a man on the ground inside an apartment, which was nearby the restaurant, in the 900 block of Sampson Street.
Police noticed another man, Cervantes, walking around the apartment, but he refused to cooperate when officers spoke to him through the window, according to the press release.
SDPD says officers at one point noticed Cervantes was wielding a firearm, and they heard a gunshot from inside as they were negotiating with him.
When SWAT and the emergency negotiation team responded, Cervantes walked out of the apartment and was arrested without incident.
SDPD entered the apartment and checked on the man down on the ground, and it was clear he had traumatic injuries.
"Unfortunately, he was pronounced deceased at the scene by a STAR medic from San Diego Fire-Rescue," the press release says.
Police have not identified the victim who died at this time, but they say he is a 33-year-old man.
Homicide detectives from SDPD responded to investigate. As of Saturday morning, there is little information about what led to the shooting; however, SDPD did says Cervantes is the victim's uncle, and they lived together in the apartment.
Cervantes was booked into jail for murder and an outstanding felony warrant, the press release says.
When ABC 10News sent a reporter to the scene Friday night, police had shut down Logan Avenue and set up a perimeter near Border X Brewing.
