A person was shot and injured after San Diego police opened fire on a suspected stolen vehicle during a traffic stop in a San Ysidro neighborhood early Wednesday. San Diego police first spotted the vehicle, which matched the description of a stolen car, around 7 a.m. at an apartment complex near Del Sur and Beyer boulevards, according to San Diego County Sheriff’s Department investigators. Two people were inside the vehicle and police gave them orders to get out, SDPD officer Collin Steinbroner said. While it was not disclosed what led to the shooting, at some point during the traffic stop, an officer fired one round into the windshield. The passenger in the vehicle was struck in the shoulder, SDSO investigators said. San Diego police rendered aid until he could be taken to a hospital. The driver was detained for questioning. It was not disclosed if either face charges. One person was taken to a hospital with a wound to their shoulder while the other person was taken into custody, Steinbroner said. It is unclear which was the driver. Juan Loera lives across the street and captured video of the incident. “I just heard one gunshot. It sounded like one car hit another one. I wasn’t sure, that’s why I came out here to check it out,” Loera said. “It’s crazy; it would be crazy enough to happen right here, right in front of our community.” No officers were injured. 🚨 Traffic Alert 🚔San Diego Police Department officers are currently working an officer-involved shooting near the 1900 block of Del Sur Boulevard in San Ysidro. 🚧 Traffic will impacted on Del Sur Boulevard between Caithness Drive and Beyer Boulevard and is expected to…— San Diego Police Department (@SanDiegoPD) July 29, 2026 Traffic was impacted on Del Sur Boulevard between Caithness Drive and Beyer Boulevard for several hours.
