On June 30, 2012, 34-year-old Stephen McClendon was shot and killed in City Heights, San Diego. The attack happened on 44th Street at about 11 p.m.; 18-year-old Rickquese McCoy was also killed and a 20-year-old man was critically injured. Investigators described the shooting as appearing random and the suspect remained at large.

Witness cooperation was limited, and authorities continued to ask the public for any information that might lead to an arrest. The killings deeply affected the neighborhood; friends and family mourned both men and helped create memorials, including planting a tree in Swan Canyon where McCoy’s ashes were spread.

If anyone has information about that night on 44th Street or remembers seeing something that could help, please come forward to investigators.
