Jose Marroquin, a 19-year-old resident of San Mateo, California, was shot in the early hours of August 29, 2021, in the 300 block of South El Camino Real. Officers who responded found him with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a local trauma center but died shortly after arrival. The shooting is being investigated as a homicide.

Investigators have looked into a suggestion circulating in the community that Marroquin may have been targeted in retaliation for allegedly giving information to law enforcement, though that theory has not been confirmed by authorities. The San Mateo Police Department asked the public for tips and any video surveillance that could help identify suspects or establish a motive. Friends and family mourned his death and a fundraising effort was started to send his body to Mexico so his mother could say farewell.

Does anyone have information, surveillance footage, or leads from the area that could help investigators bring those responsible to justice?
