"It is still early in the investigation, but detectives have learned the victim was possibly involved in some type of verbal altercation with two other [men] in the ... area," SDPD Lt. Steve Shebloski said Tuesday.
Following the shooting, the victim got into his car and drove a short distance before crashing it into a roadside fence and passing out.
Police have no detailed descriptions of the shooter or his companion.
"Homicide detectives are in the process of attempting to locate any witnesses, surveillance video or physical evidence that may assist in solving this case," the lieutenant said.
