San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division are asking for the public’s assistance to help identify and locate the suspects responsible for an assault with a deadly weapon and hate crime, which occurred in the Mission Beach area of San Diego.
On August 2, 2021, at about 11:38 p.m., a 26-year-old female was with a group of friends and was attending a bonfire on the beach near the 3000 block of Mission Boulevard. A group of young adult males approached her group. An unknown male began to yell anti LGBTQ slurs towards the victim and her friends. One of the males in the group (Suspect # 1) threw a filled 24oz beer can at the female victim, striking her left eye. Another male (Suspect # 2) pulled out a black colored Glock-style handgun and pointed it at the head of a 30-year-old male who was with the female victim. The suspects left the area and were last seen walking towards the parking lot and possibly got into a black sedan. The female victim sustained a bruised left eye. The male victim was uninjured.
