Homicide detectives were investigating Wednesday a shooting that left a man dead near a smoke shop in City Heights.

The shooting happened just before midnight Tuesday on University Avenue near 43rd Street, less than a half-mile east of Interstate 15.

San Diego police said one person died. While police have not yet said if an arrest has been made, a spokesperson said there was no active search.

At the scene, the investigation seemed to focus on an area outside a smoke shop. What appeared to be clothes sat on the ground surrounded by police tape.

A portion of University Avenue was closed for the investigation but reopened around 6 a.m.

This is a developing story. Details may change as information is released.
