The alley behind Center Street on Costa Mesa’s Westside was quiet Saturday afternoon, with no visible signs of a killing.

Police do not have any suspects and would not release additional information. Anyone who may have witnessed the shooting is asked to call Costa Mesa police, (714) 754-5356.

This is the third deadly shooting in Costa Mesa this year. Most recently, a Santa Ana man was killed in a gang-related shooting near Filmore Way. Four reputed gang members have been arrested and are suspected of the shooting. In February, a 21-year-old Costa Mesa man was shot to death during a fight near Wallace Avenue and Hamilton Street.
