One person is dead and another person was injured in a shooting inside a Chula Vista mobile home park Tuesday that prompted an overnight SWAT standoff nearby, according to the Chula Vista Police Department.
The department received a call about gunshots heard at Brentwood Park, a mobile home park located at 1100 Industrial Blvd., at around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. Within minutes, the driver of a white Jeep flagged down an officer driving around the area of Broadway and Palomar Street and told the officer that two men in the car had been shot -- a 21-year-old and a 17-year-old, according to CVPD.
The suspect was determined as 20-year-old Kai Espinoza, a resident of Brentwood Park, according to police. Espinoza turned himself into the CVPD and was arrested around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Michael Brault was in the area when the Jeep driver flagged down the officer.
"I was coming towards the intersection and I heard someone shouting, 'Help me, help me! Somebody help!'" Brault said.
Officers began performing CPR on the 21-year-old who had been shot at least once and was obviously wounded. When the officer found him, he was not breathing, police said. The man later died at the hospital.

The 17-year-old was also transported to the hospital and was expected to survive, Molina said Wednesday.
Officers responded to the neighborhood, where they found evidence of a shooting. They surrounded a home that was believed to be involved in the shooting, Molina.
"Most of what was seen here last night had to do with being safe while contacting occupants of a home that again, at the time, we believed to have some sort of involvement in this incident," Molina said.
The occupants were called out and all exited the home. Molina said SWAT officers then entered the home to clear the scene and an investigation was taken place on Wednesday.
Espinoza was not in the home when authorities entered; however, they conducted a search and gathered evidence before leaving the scene.
The investigation is ongoing. The victims' names are being withheld until family members are properly notified.
