EAST PALO ALTO (BCN) -- Police in East Palo Alto are still looking for the man who  apparently shot two people in front of a home Thursday evening.

Officers responded to a home in the 2100 block of Lincoln Street  at about 5:50 p.m. and found a 35-year-old man who had been shot in the head,  according to police. He was sitting in the front seat of a parked car.  Another man, 28, was also shot in the upper part of his body, according to  police.

The 35-year-old victim was initially listed in grave condition,  and his situation remains critical, according to Detective Angel Sanchez.  Police have not been able to talk to the man to obtain his account of what  happened, he said.

The suspect wore dark clothing and a mask, Sanchez said, and  approached the two friends as they sat in a vehicle parked in a driveway. The  motive is still unknown and it's too early to tell whether the shooting was  related to gang activity.

Shortly after the shooting, the Police Department's Shot Spotter  System reported additional shots fired nearby at Lincoln and Green streets.  Officers found multiple shell casings in the area.

Investigations indicate the shootings were related, Sanchez said,  but it's not yet clear how.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call police  Detective Angel Sanchez at (650) 464-6837 or the Police Department's  anonymous tip line at (650) 851-8477.
