SAPD said another man at the scene was attempting to defend his female friends when he was “jumped” by another group of people.
Police said a 23-year-old suspect struck a 25-year-old man in the back of the head with a 2-by-4 wood plank.
At some point, the two parties separated and went to their homes, according to a preliminary police report. Shortly after, the suspect exited a home with a shotgun and shot toward the other man, police said.
The man was not struck by a bullet, but he was evaluated for lacerations on his head. He was not taken to the hospital, and no other injuries were reported.
Later Tuesday night, police set up a perimeter to search for the suspect and deployed a SWAT team near South Colorado and San Fernando streets, less than a quarter of a mile from where officers initially responded.
However, the suspect fled the scene, SAPD said. A warrant was issued for his arrest.
