Police are investigating a homicide reported in the 1800 block of Woodland Avenue near Clarke Avenue on May 23, 2021.
Police are investigating the death of a man who was shot in East Palo Alto on Sunday night, nearly three weeks after another man was killed a block away. The San Mateo County Coroner’s Office identified the victim on Wednesday as 19-year-old Sebastian Anguiano of Redwood City.
Officers dispatched to the 1800 block of Woodland Avenue at about 10:20 p.m. found a Hispanic male suffering from gunshot wounds. They attempted life-saving measures before fire personnel and paramedics arrived. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital; he died a short time later, police said.
Relatives have set up a GoFundMe page for Anguiano to help with his funeral expenses.
The fatal shooting is the second in the Woodland area on the city’s west side in almost three weeks. On May 4, Christian Garcia-Torres, 25, also of Redwood City, was found shot in a parking structure at an apartment complex a block away in the 1700 block of Woodland Avenue. He later succumbed to his wounds at a hospital, police reported at the time.
Anyone who witnessed Sunday’s shooting or has information is asked to contact the East Palo Alto Police Department by calling Detective Andrea Dion at 650-853-7247. Anonymous tips can be sent by email to epa@tipnow.org or by text or voicemail to 650-409-6792.
