San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating two suspects involved in the murder of 32-year-old Elisha Hunter.
On December 8, 2018, at 5:10 p.m., San Diego Police Officers responded to the 700 block of 42nd Street to investigate a report of a shooting. Officers found two adult males lying on the ground, both suffering from gunshot wounds to their upper bodies. Officers provided immediate medical aid to both victims and they were transported to local hospitals. One of the victims, Elisha Hunter, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
San Diego Police Homicide Detectives were called to the scene and began investigating the incident. Detectives determined that both victims were on 42nd Street when suspects inside a white Chevy truck traveled down 42nd Street and fired multiple gunshots at the victims. The suspects’ vehicle fled the area before officers arrived.
Suspects’ Description:
The driver is described as a medium to dark complexion male. There is no description for the passenger suspect. Both suspects were inside a white Chevy Silverado extended cab (4-door) truck.
