California Self Defense: San Diego resident fatally shoots home invader – five accomplices charged with murder :: 11/16/2021

SAN DIEGO, CA – A San Diego resident shot and killed a man during a home invasion early Wednesday, and a group suspected of carrying out the robbery was arrested a short time later.

The shooting in the 300 block of Moonstone Bay Drive, near Libby Lake Park, took place at about 1:15 a.m. on November 10, according to the Oceanside Police Department.

Police say the group, at least one of whom was armed with a gun, broke into the home and encountered the homeowner. Armed with his own firearm, the homeowner exchanged fire on the intruders.

Oceanside Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Atenza said:

“The resident reached for the firearm and then shots were fired. We know that at least one of the suspects was armed and returned fire.”

One intruder was struck by gunfire and collapsed at the scene. The other suspects fled the scene.

Officers responding to reports of gunfire arrived to find a 31-year-old suspect mortally wounded in the residence, Atenza said. The man, whose name was withheld pending family notification, died at the scene.

Officers in the area of the shooting stopped a suspicious vehicle and detained five occupants, including 29-year-old Deshawn Ingram, who was suffering from a gunshot wound.

Ingram was transported to an area hospital where he was admitted in stable condition. Atenza said the nature of the gunshot wound was being investigated:

“It is unknown at this time if the (home-invasion victim) shot the… suspect who is currently in the hospital, or if this suspect was shot by one of the other suspects, who were also armed with a gun.”

Each of the suspects has been charged with robbery and murder.

Even though no one in the group is suspected of shooting the man who died at the home, the San Diego County District Attorney’s office was pursuing the murder charges because he died in commission of a felony that the group engaged in, OPD spokesperson Jennifer Atenza explained.

The other suspects charged in the case are 21-year-old Eric Dunnigan, 21-year-old Michael Simmons, 24-year-old Jaylen Harvey, and 25-year-old Sydni Tucker.

Police said Ingram, who was recently convicted of assault with a firearm and was out on bond and awaiting sentencing at the time of the shooting, will be charged when his condition permits.

The homeowner was not injured during the home invasion. Police said there would be no charges against the homeowner for the shooting.

Atenza asked anyone with information about the crime to contact Detective Ryan Malone at 760-435-4537 or the agency’s anonymous tip line at 760-435-4730.

Editor note: In 2020, we saw a nationwide push to “defund the police”.  While we all stood here shaking our heads wondering if these people were serious… they cut billions of dollars in funding for police officers.  And as a result, crime has skyrocketed – all while the same politicians who said “you don’t need guns, the government will protect you” continued their attacks on both our police officers and our Second Amendment rights.

And that’s exactly why we’re launching this national crowdfunding campaign as part of our efforts to help “re-fund the police”.
