San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s Imperial Beach Substation are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating the vehicle and the suspects responsible for an assault and robbery in Lincoln Acres.
On May 11, 2023, at about 1:10 p.m., San Diego Sheriff’s Department Deputies responded to the 2500 block of Fenton Place in unincorporated National City to investigate a report of two victims that had been forcibly assaulted and robbed at gunpoint.
Deputies arrived on scene with National City Police Officers and learned two Hispanic male suspects armed with handguns, confronted the two victims in the front yard and forced them into the residence at gunpoint. Once inside, suspect #2 robbed victim #2 of his wallet containing $250 and his identification card. Victim #1 attempted to disarm suspect #1 and was shot once in the foot during the struggle.

A composite sketch of one of the suspects was completed.
