Security Guard Shoots, Kills Possible Shoplifter in Encinitas
Last Update: 12:15 am
A security guard shot and killed a person behind an Encinitas business Tuesday night.
The Sheriff's Department got a call at 6:44 p.m. that a security guard had shot someone at 140 Encinitas Boulevard near Coast Highway 101.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they found the wounded person and the guard behind a Smart and Final discount warehouse.
San Diego 6 Reporter Jenny Hamel spoke exclusively to the brother of the victim's girlfriend. She witnessed the shooting and said the victim and the security guard were arguing. The victim apparently said he was "tired of you cops following me everywhere."
"The guy drew a gun on him," said the brother. "And from what I understand that he said, 'Well, just shoot me, shoot me' or something and the guy just shot him."
The victim was declared dead at the scene.
One of the business owners in the strip mall says the victim and his friends were transients that hung around the strip mall.
