San Diego police make arrest in City Heights-area homicide
The San Diego Police Department made an arrest in a fatal shooting that happened late Friday night in the City Heights area.
According to the department, officers responded to the 3500 block of Van Dyke Ave. in the Castle neighborhood around 11:50 p.m.
Police found a man suffering from a gunshot wound lying in a driveway, and paramedics took him to a nearby hospital.
He was later pronounced dead, SDPD’s press release says.
SDPD says they detained Alan Bahena at the scene, and ultimately determined he was the suspect. The 21-year-old man was arrested and booked into San Diego County Jail for murder, the press release says.
Homicide detectives learned in their preliminary investigation that Bahena, the victim and a few other people had gathered in the driveway.
Police say Bahena and the victim are acquaintances.
“At some point, Bahena fired a gun that struck the victim at least once,” the press release states. “It is unknown at this point what circumstances led up to the shooting.”
Police are not releasing the victim’s name at this time, but they did say he is 22 years old.
This is an active investigation, and detectives are in the process of gathering and reviewing evidence, including conducting interviews with witnesses.
If you have any information for SDPD, reach out to the Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or call Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing
San Diego FC have signed goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega through 2025 with options for 2026-27, the expansion club announced Friday.
Sisniega, 29, was a free agent after playing for USL Championship side San Antonio FC.
This is Sisniega’s third MLS stop after previous stints with LAFC (2019-21) and Charlotte FC (2022-23). He has four clean sheets in 33 league matches.
“Pablo brings depth and experience to a competitive group of goalkeepers who will join us in January,” sporting director Tyler Heaps said. “We are excited to welcome him to San Diego FC and look forward to his contributions.”
Sisniega is San Diego’s fourth goalkeeper signing before their MLS debut, following Jacob Jackson, CJ dos Santos and Duran Ferree. The latter will join Danish club FC Nordsjælland on loan through June.
Sisniega holds a U.S. Green Card and won’t occupy an international roster slot.
Led by head coach Mikey Varas, San Diego will play their inaugural match on Feb. 23 vs. defending MLS Cup presented by Audi champions LA Galaxy (7 pm ET | MLS Season Pass).
