Three men have been arrested on murder charges in connection with a double shooting that killed a man and injured another last year in San Diego’s Mountain View neighborhood, police said Tuesday.
Jimmie Lee Roberts III, 27, was killed in the Feb. 15, 2022, shooting, which occurred on Ocean View Boulevard near 36th Street. San Diego police officers found Roberts on the sidewalk, where he died.
Investigators learned that Roberts and another victim had been standing next to Mike’s Market when three assailants walked up to them and opened fire, said homicide Lt. Jud Campbell. The trio then ran into a parking lot and escaped.
The second victim, 54, also ran away but was later taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
The investigation led to three suspects. On Monday, Oshea Jones, 24, was arrested on Third Avenue and G Street in downtown San Diego, while the other two suspects — Leashaye Turman, 20, and Haben Haile, 25 — were already in county jail on unrelated charges. The other two were also booked on suspicion of murder.
The motive was determined to be gang-related, Campbell said.
