Sengny Chea, 31 and a San Diego resident, was shot multiple times in the upper body and killed on May 14, 2022, in the parking lot behind her Lincoln Park apartment complex. The shooting happened about 2:19 a.m.; medics arrived but pronounced her dead at the scene. Her 12-year-old son suffered a gunshot wound to his leg, and her 32-year-old boyfriend sustained contusions and other injuries.

San Diego police arrested 22-year-old Alex Galvan on suspicion of murder and other charges; he was found at the scene with a gunshot wound to his wrist and later hospitalized. Abraham Galvan was also arrested on suspicion of violating probation, possession of an assault weapon, and assault with force. A third male was seen fleeing and remains a person of interest. Reports say a physical altercation between Sengny’s boyfriend and the suspects preceded the shooting, and Sengny and her son encountered that altercation before the shooting occurred.

Anyone who has information about the third person seen fleeing or about the events that night is asked to come forward.
