Eduardo Lalo Alvarado Sandoval, 22, was killed on October 14, 2018, at a birthday party held at the A1 Auto Services & Towing lot in East Palo Alto. A fight at the party escalated into a shooting; Sandoval and another man, 23-year-old Mario Vidales Mendez of Redwood City, were both shot to death. Two other people were wounded, including Sandoval’s cousin and the birthday girl’s boyfriend. Police were alerted by the ShotSpotter system and arrived within minutes, but the shooter fled and had not been apprehended.

Investigators described the incident as arising from a fight at the party and said it was not initially believed to be gang-related, with alcohol possibly playing a role. The family — including his mother Veronica and sister Idalia — expressed frustration with the investigation’s pace and communication. Authorities said they were having difficulty locating the gunman, who was thought to possibly have fled to Mexico. Mothers Against Murder later offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction; the suspect was identified as Julian Rico Santana in those developments.

Does anyone have information about the party, the location, or the people who attended that night?
