Ricardo Moran Sr., 49, was fatally shot on October 5, 2019, around 1:30 a.m. in San Diego’s Shelltown neighborhood. He was talking with a friend outside his home when a drive-by shooting occurred; Moran was shot and later died at a hospital. His friend suffered serious, critical injuries but was expected to survive. Witnesses reported a black sedan speeding away after the shots, but no detailed vehicle or suspect description was available.

The San Diego Police Department opened a homicide investigation but faced limited leads. No arrests had been announced, and authorities were asking the community for information; a reward was being offered for tips that could identify the assailant or assailants. Moran’s family described him as a devoted father and grandfather and set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses.

If anyone saw the black sedan or has information about the shooting, please come forward to the investigators.
