SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8/CNS) - A 30-year-old man was gravely wounded Monday morning in a shooting at an East Village apartment complex, police said.
Officers responding to reports of a shooting around 5:45 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 900 block of Market Street found the man with at least one gunshot wound, San Diego public-affairs Officer Billy Hernandez said.
The victim was transported to a hospital and authorities later reported that the victim suffered a gunshot to his upper body. He was not expected to survive.
Witnesses near the Strata Apartments complex told investigators there was a party on the fourth floor where the shooting occurred.
One witness near the complex Allan Evans shared video with News 8 showing a woman yelling as she ran to the front entrance of the building.
Our cameras later captured footage of the same woman being led away by police. Several other people at the scene stayed to speak with police.
At least three people - including the woman - were handcuffed with paper bags over their hands, which is usually done to later test for gunshot residue.
Police stressed that no one has been arrested but that people were detained for questioning.
The circumstances leading up to the shooting were under investigation and no suspect descriptions were given.
Police put the entire high-rise complex on lockdown as they searched for a shooter or shooters.
Some streets in the area were shut down for several hours as well.
EDITOR'S NOTE: A previous version of this story stated that the victim was 29 years old. Authorities later corrected his age to be 30.
