I was shocked when I read about this murder 16 years ago. I am shocked again that no one is helping the police find justice for the victim's family. I really doubt she was killed by a lone gunman who kept their mouth shut over all these years.

Is there any information about what kind of gun was used and what direction or distance it was fired from? Someone might know someone who owns that kind of gun.

I remember the shock that such an outrage like this could happen in public in Palo Alto to a completely innocent individual who had their whole life ahead of them. It's nice to see this is not being forgotten and every so often it is mentioned and is still being investigated. I hope this is solved the person or persons who did this are caught, brought to justice and punished.
