Armando Montelongo Espinoza, 52, was fatally shot on January 21, 2020, on the 700 block of San Antonio Road in Palo Alto. In the early morning he called the city’s 24-hour dispatch to report he had been shot; officers found him conscious and breathing with a gunshot wound to his stomach. He was taken to a nearby hospital, underwent surgery, and later died of his injuries.

The Palo Alto Police Department opened an investigation but has not released a description of a suspect, identified anyone publicly, or announced an arrest. Mothers Against Murder, a nonprofit based in Los Altos, has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Montelongo Espinoza was a San Jose resident; the motive remains unclear and the case is unsolved.

Anyone with information that could help identify a suspect or advance the investigation is asked to come forward.
