Quite the age gap for a mutual combat-gone-1-tap... wonder if this is going to be another self-defense case where it's discovered the 18-year-old actually committed battery, the 32-year-old fought back barehanded, tried to break contact, but got knocked to the ground & was getting curbstomped, and fired the only shot necessary to prevent his own brain being splattered over the pavement around his corpse. Hope he has a good lawyer if he doesn't plead guilty before a coercive plea bargain is on the table.

A teenage boy was shot and killed in a fight outside a Walmart in Eastlake Tuesday night, and Chula Vista police said they arrested the alleged gunman after he contacted them.

Police were dispatched to the Walmart on Eastlake Parkway shortly after 10:30 p.m. after someone called 911 to report a shooting.

Officers found the teen suffering from a single gunshot wound in the parking lot and administered aid. He was transported to the hospital, where he died. His name has not yet been released.

After the shooting, police said the suspected shooter called 911 to report the incident and waited nearby to be contacted by officers. The man, 32-year-old Thomas Perez of Chula Vista, was arrested on suspicion of murder. He is being held without bail in county jail.

According to police, Perez and the victim had been fighting when Perez pulled a holstered firearm from his waistband and shot the teen. Police did not say what prompted the fight.
