SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A pedestrian was gunned down in the street in Logan Heights late Saturday night when a passing vehicle stopped and a passenger got out and opened fire before the car sped away from the scene, according to San Diego Police homicide detectives.

Officers responded at 11:57 p.m. to South 31st Street and Martin Avenue, where they found a 37-year-old Hispanic man lying in the intersection with multiple gunshot wounds, according to Lt. Mike Holden.

Officers began life-saving measures and the victim was transported to UC San Diego Medical Center in Hillcrest, where he died.
