An active duty Navy sailor was killed in a shooting at Horton Plaza Saturday night. Police are still looking for the two men accused of opening fire, killing James Celani of San Diego and injuring his cousin, a 29-year-old Riverside man. San Diego Police homicide detectives say it happened around 11:45p.m. on the 7th floor of Horton Plaza, outside of the Mad House Comedy Club.
Celani, a Navy aviator, sustained several gunshot wounds to his chest and was transported to UCSD Medical Center, when he died. His cousin sustained a minor gunshot wound to his leg and will survive his injury, according to police.
