​Man Kills Another Man, Injures Others, Then Kills Self In San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — A 58-year-old man apparently fatally shot himself in a vehicle after stabbing a man to death and injuring the man's wife and a security guard who was attempting to break up an argument, authorities said Sunday.

Police received two calls -- the first at 11:18 p.m. Saturday reporting a man and woman arguing and another 10 minutes later reporting a stabbing at the Grande South complex at 1199 Pacific Highway, in the Core Columbia neighborhood of San Diego, according to the San Diego Police Department.

Shortly afterward, officers and paramedics were dispatched to the complex, where they found a 64-year-old man suffering from multiple stab wounds to his chest and head -- he would later die at the scene -- and a 27-year-old security guard who suffered a stab wound to his arm, and the fatal victim's 62- year-old wife suffering from head contusions, police said. The injured victims were transported to a hospital and later released.

Detectives learned that the suspect was known to the married couple.

Police reported that a fight broke out between the husband and the suspect in a parking garage of the complex, where the security guard attempted to intervene. During the fight, the assailant attacked all three people, then fled.

At 8:30 a.m. Sunday, a call was made to authorities reporting a vehicle with an apparent bullet hole in the rear window parked in the area of Dairy Mart Road and Vista Lane in San Ysidro, according to police. Responding officers found a man -- they believed to be the assailant -- deceased in the vehicle with what they believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Authorities urged anyone with information about the case to call San Diego police at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
