On July 17, 2026, at about 11:40 p.m., deputies from the Rancho San Diego Station responded to a call of a shooting at a residence located in the 10200 block of Challenger Boulevard in the City of Spring Valley. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found an adult female victim, who had a single gunshot wound to the ankle. The victim sustained non-fatal injuries and was treated at a nearby hospital.

Deputies investigating the incident learned the victim was attending a party at the location when two males got into an argument. The argument took place in the middle of the street, which escalated resulting in gunfire. The victim was not the intended target and did not know the males involved in the argument. The suspect immediately fled the scene and no description was given.

Detectives are requesting any assistance from the community in locating any additional witnesses, victims, or evidence regarding this shooting.
