This afternoon, Wednesday 1/17/18 at approximately 4:50pm, three young suspects in a dark SUV (Possibly with grey interior) approached a 19 year old Belmont man in front of his home in the 1600 block of Chula Vista Dr. One of the men shot the victim once in the upper body and then the three fled in the SUV. They were last seen southbound on Alameda de las Pulgas toward San Carlos.

The victim’s relationship with the suspects is currently under investigation, but this does not appear to be a random event. The victim was transported by ambulance to the hospital and is being treated for the gunshot wound. His condition is unknown at this time.

Anyone who may have seen the suspects, or the crime, is encouraged to call Belmont PD at 650-595-7400 or leave an anonymous tip at 650-598-3000.
