Police are investigating a drive-by shooting on Santa Monica’s eastside that occurred early Sunday morning, which landed a man in the hospital with gun shot wounds.

At about 12:40 a.m., Santa Monica Police responded to the 1900 block of 20th Street where they found a 19-year-old Santa Monica resident with gunshot wounds. He was treated at the scene by Santa Monica Fire Department paramedics and transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening wounds.

Police said the victim was standing on the sidewalk when a dark, compact vehicle slowly drove by and shot him.

The incident is not related to Monday’s murder. Anyone with information should call the SMPD’s robbery-homicide unit at (310) 458- 8451 or (310) 458-8495.
