Steven Palo was 26 when he was found shot to death in his Daly City condominium on January 13, 1997. His home was on the 1700 block of Saddleback in the Bayshore neighborhood. Investigators reported no signs of forced entry and nothing taken from the unit, suggesting robbery was not the motive and that Palo may have known his assailant.

Authorities noted similarities between this killing and other unresolved Daly City homicides where residences showed no obvious signs of burglary. Despite extensive investigation, the case remains unsolved and classified as a cold case. The Daly City Police Department has asked anyone with information, however small, to come forward to help bring answers to the family and the community.

If anyone knew Steven, his routines, acquaintances, or saw suspicious activity in the Bayshore area around January 13, 1997, please contact investigators with any information.
