Ismael Jesus Nicasio, 20, was fatally shot late at night on January 9, 2011, in the Barrio Logan neighborhood of San Diego. Officers responding to reports of gunfire found multiple victims; Nicasio was discovered gravely injured and later died at a hospital. The shooting involved at least one other man and is described as the result of a violent confrontation that escalated.

The area is noted for struggles with gang-related violence, and investigators encountered limited witness cooperation. No arrests were reported immediately after the shooting, and the case remained unsolved. In the months before his death Nicasio had an arrest for public intoxication in July 2010; authorities saw no indication that that incident was related to the homicide.

Anyone with information about the events of January 9, 2011, in Barrio Logan is asked to come forward.
