SAN DIEGO, CA – Police searched Sunday for two men suspected of being involved in a shooting on an Encanto street.

A man and a woman were standing outside of a parked car on 59th Street near Market Street around 7:20 p.m. Saturday when two men approached them, San Diego Police Sgt. Michael Tansey said. One suspect pulled out a handgun and shot at the male victim, who was hit once in his right ankle.
