A man fatally shot while sitting in a parked car in broad daylight in the Miramar area was identified by authorities Friday.

Markus Vega, 57, was sitting in the front passenger seat of a parked vehicle in the 8600 block of Production Avenue, near Camino Santa Fe, at about 4 p.m. Wednesday when he was shot, according to the San Diego Police Department.

Paramedics took Vega to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, SDPD Lt. Chris Tivanian said.
