preview

Copyright © 2022, The San Diego Union-Tribune | | AdvertisementAdvertisement Police sought tips from the public Monday as they continued investigating last week’s death of a gunshot victim who was dropped off at Sharp Grossmont Hospital. The 36-year-old San Diego resident Jose Santos Acevedo Torresdey just before 7 p.m. last Wednesday at the hospital’s emergency room ambulance bay, according to La Mesa police spokesman Lt. Greg Runge. The driver took off immediately after getting Torresdey out of the car, Runge said.Hospital staff attempted to save Torresdey, but he died shortly after he was dropped off, according to Runge. Authorities determined he’d suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. AdvertisementInvestigators do not know when or where the shooting occurred, but were asking for tips from anyone with information about the shooting or the car that left Torresdey at the hospital. The victim’s brother, Carlos Guevara, said the family has not been given many more details than what police have released publicly. “The main thing is a timeline, the detective is just trying to figure out where it happened and when,” Guevara said.The family has started a GoFundMe page to help cover funeral and other costs. Guevara lived most of his life in the San Diego area, including for a time with an ex-wife in El Cajon. He attended Grossmont High School, and was raised by his mother, Natalia Guevara, and his grandfather, who he referred to as his father. Because of his close relationship with his grandfather, he used Torresday as his primary surname instead of Acevedo, his father’s last name, according to his brother. The family said Torresdey struggled with drug addiction, but was always loving and kind to his family, and always there for friends in need. Anyone with information about the circumstances surrounding Torresdey’s death or the car that dropped him off was urged to contact La Mesa police at (619) 667-7532 or lamesatips@cityoflamesa.us. Tipsters can also call San Diego County Crime Stoppers’ anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.
