Stephanie Kitty Kinman, 36, was shot and killed in San Diego on the evening of September 25, 2020, after an altercation at a pizza restaurant near Dewey Street and Kearney Avenue. Kinman and a male companion had a confrontation with another man and woman; after the fight, as Kinman was getting into her car, an unknown assailant fired at her. Witnesses reported yelling and gunshots.

Kinman was found unconscious on the sidewalk near Harbor Drive and Schley Street, about a mile from the restaurant. She was taken to a nearby hospital and died of her injuries. The shooter was described as a Hispanic man in his mid-20s, about 5 feet 8 inches, medium build, wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants. The San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit investigated and appealed for witnesses; no arrest was announced at the time.

Kinman was a former U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman who served nearly six years and later worked in social work supporting veterans. She is survived by her young son, Gibson; a GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral costs. Does anyone have information about the altercation that evening or the man seen leaving the scene?
