Crime scene tape has surrounded the area near the Mission Beach area in less than a week.
The beach area is popular for tourists and locals alike- bringing in hundreds from all around the world.While this is a popular tourist spot, it also become an area with an increase in violence.
On Sunday night, the area near Belmont Park was surrounded by police tape after officers responded to a call of shots fired."It makes me think twice about coming, but right now it's how I make a living," said Rosemary Sanchez.She was there last August when a shooting happened near a restaurant in the area.
"It was late a night and we heard shots and we all hid. We all hid under our tables. We didn't know where it was coming and it was scary. I didn't come back for like a week or two until I found out that it was random and we really didn't know what was going on," she said. After several shootings last year, San Diego Police added brighter lights and undercover officers in the area."Definitely, they should have some more police and I'm sure that the park has some kind of security. They should have a little bit more security," said Sanchez.
