San Diego police have identified a 42-year-old man who was shot and killed last Wednesday night in a trailer parked near an Encanto home as Isaac J. Grant.
Grant was fatally shot Jan. 27 around 10:35 p.m. at the trailer parked at the home on Varney Drive near Leaf Terrace. Police have released few details about their investigation.
Investigators were looking into whether the killing was related to the fatal shooting of another man that occurred two months earlier in the same area.

At the time, police said it appeared Johnson was talking to an acquaintance when another vehicle pulled up near them and a gunman got out and fired several rounds.
