On September 27, 2024, at about 10:45 p.m., Redwood City police responded to reports of gunfire in the 1600 block of El Camino Real. Officers found that a male victim had been taken to a local hospital and was later pronounced dead. The victim is identified as 35-year-old Jorge Daniel Gomez, a Redwood City resident.

Circumstances leading to the shooting remain unclear and no arrests or suspect descriptions have been released. Records show Gomez had been arrested in August 2022 in connection with a separate shooting at Hoover Park, where multiple rounds led to lockdowns at a nearby school and Boys & Girls Club; charges then included attempted murder and possession of a controlled substance with a firearm. The Redwood City Police Department is investigating and has asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone has information about Jorge Daniel Gomez’s shooting on September 27, 2024, contact the Redwood City Police Department.
