Police believe the victim and shooter were filming a music video when a dispute ensued. The assailant pulled a gun and shot the man under the bridge in the 500 block of South Mission Road, Eisenman said.

The shooter — described by police as 18 to 20 years old — fled in a vehicle. Police did not provide details about his height or weight, the weapon or the vehicle.

The incident remains under investigation and is believed to be gang-related, Eisenman said.
