EAST COUNTY

A 16-year-old was shot several times at a marijuana dispensary near El Cajon midday Friday, and the gunman drove off, a sheriff ’s lieutenant said.

After the shooting, the victim’s friends dropped him off at a nearby gas station, where police were called about noon, Lt. Pat McEvoy said.

El Cajon police responded, but the Sheriff ’s Department is handling the investigat­ion because the shooting happened about a block outside the city limits.

The shooting occurred at a marijuana dispensary on North Second Street, between Greenfield and Pepper drives.

The victim was taken to a trauma center, McEvoy said. He did not know the extent of the teen’s injuries or his condition.

The gunman f led in a white BMW.

Sheriff ’s officials urged anyone with informatio­n about the shooting to call San Diego County Crimes Stoppers’ anonymous tip line (888) 580-8477.

SANTEE

A Santee man was jailed this week, accused of murder and child abuse in the death of his 7-monthold daughter, a sheriff ’s lieutenant said Friday.

The arrest of Daniel Charles Marshall, 34, on Thursday comes a little more than seven months after the baby girl died.

About 7:25 p.m. on April 22, someone called for help at the family’s home on Paseo Del Ray, reporting an infant in medical distress, Sheriff ’s Lt. Thomas Seiver said in a news release.

The baby was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Siever said the “circumstan­ces warranted further investigat­ion,” and the department’s child abuse detectives responded. As the investigat­ion progressed, homicide detectives stepped in and took over.

On April 25, three days after she arrived at the hospital, the baby died.

A criminal complaint indicates he is charged with murder and child abuse resulting in death. No arraignmen­t date has been set, as COVID-19 concerns have led to delays in court hearings.
