UCSD seeks help in finding BB gun shooter and second man on e-bikes

The UC San Diego Police Department is seeking the public’s help in finding suspects in a BB gun shooting on campus Aug. 28.

According to university police, two men arrived on the campus from North Torrey Pines Road at Muir Lane riding black electric bikes. They continued east to the intersection of Hopkins and Voigt drives, where one of the men drew a light-colored BB gun and shot at least one person multiple times at about 3:20 p.m. The second man was not seen with a weapon or attacking anyone.

Both men fled the scene westbound across the campus and continued onto North Torrey Pines from Muir.

The man with the gun was described as White, in his late teens to early 20s, wearing a black helmet, goggles, a light blue jacket with a gray hooded sweatshirt underneath, black pants and white shoes. The other man was described as White, in his early 20s and wearing a black helmet, goggles, black jacket, blue pants and black shoes.

As of early this week, the suspects had not been apprehended and the investigation was continuing.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call university police at (858) 534-4357 or email detective@ucsd.edu.
