Anaheim man followed, then shot to death in car in San Bernardino parking lot

A man walking through a parking lot in San Bernardino on Saturday was followed to his car and then shot to death, police said.

San Bernardino police said Subhi Baghdadi, a 51-year-old from Anaheim, was sitting in his car when two men approached him.

They shot him once, then fled on foot, according to Sgt. John Echevarria, a San Bernardino Police Department spokesman.

Police said Baghdadi and the two suspects were all inside a store in the 1200 block of North Waterman Avenue, northwest of the intersection of Waterman and East Baseline Street, at around 6 p.m. on Saturday.

When Baghdadi left, the two men followed him out. They continued following him as he walked to a parking lot of a neighboring business at 270 E. Baseline Street.

After Baghdadi got in his car, the two men approached him as he was sitting in the driver’s seat. One of the men pointed a gun at him, then fired once.

Echevarria didn’t know if the suspects said anything to Baghdadi before he was shot, or if they interacted inside the store.

Investigators did not provide a description of either of the suspects. And they didn’t know what direction the men fled.

Detectives were investigating the killing Sunday, and asked for anyone with information to contact them at (909) 384-5650 or (909) 384-5613.
