Officers headed to Sharp Memorial Hospital to check for a gunshot victim, where they found two men who had been shot. One victim, a 20-year-old Hispanic man, had been shot in the leg and the other victim, a 15-year-old Hispanic male, suffered two gunshot wounds to the buttocks area and one to the leg.
Both victim's injuries were considered non life-threatening. Both were uncooperative with police and no suspect information was available, police added.
An officer at the scene told 10News the two victims were visiting a memorial set up for 16-year-old Carlos Valdovinos, who was gunned down in the same area in late May. A baseball cap, flowers, and plastic angel could still be seen in the are to two were visiting.
The officer said a driver reportedly drove up, leaned out of the vehicle, and shot the two victims before fleeing.
SDPD Gang Detectives are handling the investigation.
Last month, police arrested 20-year-old Andy Phonsongkham for Valdovinos' murder, but have not established a motive for that shooting yet. Both shootings are believed to be gang-related.
