Three young men and a teenager were behind bars Tuesday in connection with the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old boy in the Mount Hope neighborhood.

Bryan Escobedo, 18, Ethan Peaslee-Guerrero, 19, and Omar Morales, 18, were arrested along with a 17-year-old boy, whose name was not released because of his age, according to the San Diego Police Department.

The suspects were arrested about an hour after the fatal shooting, which took place around 4:15 p.m. Monday in the 3500 block of J Street.

Erick Balanzar, the 14-year-old victim, died at a hospital.
