Mark Madden, 20, was shot and killed in East Palo Alto on October 3, 2014. He was visiting his uncle’s home on the 1100 block of Laurel Avenue when a drive-by shooting occurred around 5:08 p.m.; officers found Madden dead at the scene. No arrests have been announced.

A San Francisco State University sophomore and Sequoia High School graduate, Madden was studying biology and had planned to become a doctor. He was active in football, wrestling and student organizations and is remembered by friends and family for his positive attitude and sense of humor. The shooting appears to have been random in that Madden was described as an unintended victim.

Anyone who was in East Palo Alto on the afternoon of October 3, 2014, or who has information about that drive-by shooting is asked to contact investigators.
