Officers from the Bayview station responded at 9:33 p.m. Monday to Quesada Avenue between Newhall and Third streets for a report of a possible shooting, police said in an emailed statement Tuesday afternoon.
When officers arrived, they found a man lying on the ground with gunshot wounds to his face and chest, according to preliminary information about the shooting.
