Antonio Martinez Moradel, 23, of Oakland, was one of two young men killed in a violent episode in East Palo Alto on August 2, 2020. Police responded at about 8:11 p.m. to a report of a car crash at 115 Gardenia Way and found Moradel and another 23-year-old, Roberto Velasquez Martinez of Chico, inside one of the crashed vehicles. Both had sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics rendered aid.

Investigators determined the victims had been shot before the car crashed. The weapon linked to the murders was identified as an FN Five-seveN, a high-powered handgun capable of firing conventional and armor-piercing rounds; that model has been tied to multiple crimes in California. No arrests have been announced and police continue to seek information from the public.
