David Solis, a 19-year-old from Tijuana, Mexico, was shot dead on January 5, 2025, in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of San Diego. The shooting occurred about 9:36 a.m. in the 300 block of Willie James Jones Avenue after officers responded to reports of gunfire. Solis suffered at least one gunshot wound to the torso, received first aid from responders, and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators say Solis approached two men who were spray-painting gang-related graffiti on a wall, which led to a confrontation and the fatal shooting. One suspect, 21-year-old Edwin Bejarano Aguayo, was arrested on January 7, 2025, during a traffic stop on Interstate 5 near Del Mar Heights Road; he was booked into San Diego Central Jail on a murder charge and is being held without bail pending arraignment. A second suspect remains at large and the case is under active investigation.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers.
