A 26 year old East Palo Alto man was shot and killed on Camellia Ct in the second shooting in East Palo Alto in as many days.
According to the East Palo Alto Police, officers found the victim face down in a driveway on Camellia Ct shortly after 10 p.m. on Tuesday, July 19. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment but died of his wounds approximately four hours later.
The initial investigation showed that the victim was approached by a suspect in front of a house on Camellia Ct.
