A man was found dead in an SUV on the Great Highway early Thursday morning following a shootout nearby on Irving Street.
The shoutout happened just before 1 a.m. according to the SFPD, on the 4600 block of Irving Street. As KPIX reports, arriving officers found a man at the scene where shots were reportedly fired suffering from a gunshot wound.
That man was hospitalized for a non-life-threatening injury.
Shortly thereafter, police received word of a stationary vehicle on the Great Highway near Skyline Boulevard. Inside the vehicle, officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. After aid was rendered at the scene, the man succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead at the scene.
