San Diego police responding to reports of a 12:40 a.m. traffic accident Monday at the 5500 block of Trojan Avenue found a man who had been shot to death, officials said.
The 22-year-old man was face down on the street, dead of gunshots to his upper torso, Sgt. Ted Armijo said. A handgun was used, but no suspects or motives for the slaying have been found, he said.
