EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. (KCBS) - Police in East Palo Alto are searching for a gunman, after a 31-year-old Yellow Cab driver was killed overnight.
The initial investigation suggests robbery was not the motive in the shooting.
The San Jose man still had cash on him when police arrived on the scene, on the 2700 block of Hunter Street. "The first call was fireworks, through our shots fired system," explained East Palo Alto Police Department Captain Carl Estelle. "While officers were en route to the location, it was determined that it was multiple gunshots."

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, on the front porch of a reported acquaintance.
According to police, the man had been shot multiple times through the window of the cab. "Pretty thin right now," Estelle said of evidence and leads in the case. "I don't know if it's because of witnesses or the citizens are reluctant to cooperate with us, but we're not getting a lot of pertinent information.
This is the fourth murder in East Palo Alto this year.
