Wendell Eddington, 52, of San Diego was shot and killed on May 16, 2022, near 35th Street and Orange Avenue in the City Heights neighborhood. He was found deceased at the scene from gunshot wounds, and investigators treated the death as suspicious from the start.

Police say the shooting occurred during a violent altercation at an illegal gambling den. The dispute reportedly involved 43-year-old Bryan Parker, who shot Eddington after an argument over a gambling-related issue. Parker fled but was later located in Pierre, South Dakota, and brought back to San Diego to face charges. He pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and a firearm allegation and was sentenced to 10 years in state prison; family members gave emotional testimony about the impact of Eddington’s death.

Does anyone have information about the gambling location or the events that led up to the shooting?
