A teenager was shot in the leg during a drive-by shooting Monday afternoon in Clairemont, starting an hours-long search for four suspects in a dark-colored sedan, the San Diego Police Department said. The shooting was reported around 2:15 p.m. near Genessee Avenue and Mount Etna Drive. Police say four unknown juvenile suspects shot at the victim several times and took off. NBC 7 obtained security video of the actual shooting. Police hope someone recognizes the car from the video. Good Samaritan Nicholas Arciniega was nearby and helped the teen victim. “I asked him if he was shot. He said, ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘ Where?’ And he showed me his leg. I was happy it wasn’t in his chest. That’s when I started praying for him and I told him it was going to be OK,” he said. Police said this is not connected to any other criminal activity in the area of late. “We’re bouncing some ideas off witnesses who say he may have been communicating with the car while it was driving by, or he may have just been standing there by himself,” Steinbroner said. The suspect car is being described by police as a dark grey Lexus LS460. “We got some witnesses that gave us some good plate info. We are working off our ALPR system to locate a vehicle in the city,” said SDPD officer Colin Steinbroner. The victim, a juvenile, was taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg. Traffic was impacted for several hours following the shooting, police said. Athena Melendez also witnessed the shooting. “Alarming, jarring. A little scary. It was kind of surreal to see him. He was in a lot of pain, of course,” Melendez said. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information related to the shooting is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477. ...read more read less
