ESCONDIDO, Calif. — A man was shot and killed inside an Escondido apartment late Thursday night, and police are searching for a suspect in connection with the homicide, authorities said..
Officers responded to a call of shots fired at an apartment complex on North Broadway about 11:50 p.m. When they arrived, they found the victim, a man in his 20s, dead inside a unit, Escondido police Lt. Bode Berreth said.
The victim’s name has not yet been released, pending notification of family members, Berreth said.
Investigators believe the victim was shot multiple times during an altercation with the suspect, who fled the scene before police arrived, Berreth said. The motive for the shooting is still under investigation, but it does not appear to be a random act of violence, he said.
Police have not released any information about the suspect, but they are asking for the public’s help in locating him. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Escondido Police Department at (760) 839-4722.
