SAN DIEGO
Police on Friday identified the 44-year-old man who was shot to death Wednesday night on a residential street in Oak Park as Bao Tien Duong.
Duong was gunned down about 9:30 p.m. on Collura Street between Chollas Parkway and Chollas Road, according to San Diego police homicide Lt. Matt Dobbs.
Residents in the area heard a gunshot and went outside, where they found the victim down in a front yard suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound, Dobbs said.
Medics took Duong to a hospital, where he died.

NATIONAL CITY
A woman who hunkered down overnight in a San Diego trash bin alongside a fugitive during a SWAT standoff had spent several days on the run with him, a National City police official said Wednesday.
Janeth Iriarte, 33, was with fugitive Christopher Marquez during an 11-hour standoff that ended Tuesday morning when San Diego police shot Marquez to death, fearing he was about to kill Iriarte. Police pulled Iriarte from the container uninjured.
Hours later, National City police booked Iriarte into jail on suspicion of vehicle theft and being an accessory to a crime after the fact. She is accused of helping Marquez lay low after he opened fire on police in the South County city last week. It’s not clear if or when she will be arraigned on the charges, and it was not immediately known if she had an attorney.
The pursuit wound its way to the north and west, eventually reaching Loma Portal via Interstate 8, Dobbs said. There, the fleeing driver exited the freeway, then promptly doubled back and got back onto it near the intersection of Nimitz and West Point Loma boulevards. Just a day after schools reopened for in-class instruction, several downtown San Diego were forced to return to online class due to an hourslong standoff. NBC 7’s Audra Stafford has details for you.
As the suspect s vehicle entered eastbound I-8, one of the occupants fired on the pursuing police cruiser, he said. The chase then continued to the south into the East Village, where the police vehicle was again fired on in the area of A Street and 10th Avenue.
