San Diego police are investigating a deadly shooting in Otay Mesa on Friday.
Officers responded to a call from a witness who reported seeing someone get shot by a person in a passing vehicle at around 5:30 p.m., according to the San Diego Police Department.
When officers arrived, they found a victim on the ground in the 1200 block of Hidden Trails Road, where they found a second victim a short time later. Both had multiple gunshot wounds, SDPD Officer J. Perales said.
One of the victims, a 40-year-old man, was pronounced deceased at the scene just before 6 p.m., SDPD Lt. Jud Campbell said. The other victim, a 42-year-old man, was taken to a nearby hospital. He was in serious condition but expected to survive, according to Campbell.

SDPD said it believes the victims were together and know each other. It is not clear if the victims lived in the community or what brought them to the area.
The suspect is not in custody, the department said. Police say they do not have a description of the suspect at this time but said the suspect was possibly in a four-door, dark-colored sedan.
A car that was at the scene, which is believed to be a Lexus, was later found several miles away with bullet holes in it. It has not yet been determined if the bullet holes are related to Friday's shooting.

An SDPD Homicide team was at the scene collecting evidence. They recovered what appears to be an airsoft gun and cash scattered around where the victims were found.
The investigation is ongoing.
One neighbor told NBC 7 that she usually goes through the area where the shooting took place when she goes on her evening walk. She and other neighbors say they are concerned for their safety.
"You don't see those situations happening in this neighborhood at all. I've been here 13 years, and this is the first time something like this happens," neighbor Ruben Herrera said.
No other details were immediately available.
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information arrives.
