Felony Assault Solved

UP TO $1000 Reward

San Diego County Crime Stoppers along with investigators from the San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects involved in a felony assault in the Pacific Beach area. 

On April 1, 2019, at 1:30 a.m., an adult male victim got into an argument with a group of unknown males in front of the Backyard Bar and Grill located at 832 Garnet Avenue, in San Diego. During the argument, one of the males punched the victim three times in his face. The victim walked across the street to get away from the group of males. 

The males followed the victim across the street and repeatedly kicked and punched him while he was lying on the ground. The suspects fled the scene before police arrived. The victim was transported to a local hospital and suffered major head trauma including fractures to his face. The victim required reconstructive surgery of his face due to the severity of his injuries. 

Anyone with information on the identity or location of the suspects is asked to call SDPD’s Northern Division at (858) 552-1700 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in this case.
