Redwood City has become the scene of a grim incident following a distressing event that occurred on Seaport Boulevard. Responding to a report regarding a suspicious vehicle, Redwood City Police officers arrived to find a disheartening tableau: a man and a woman, each with a gunshot wound to the head, were discovered unconscious in their car. The woman, tragically, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the man was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
The deceased has since been identified as Denise Alessan Madrigal Martinez, 36, of Redwood City, according to a press release from the Redwood City Police Department. The male, who succumbed to his injuries as of yesterday, was Armando Madrigal Barajas Jr., also 36 and from Redwood City. Authorities are working to piece together to fully understand what led to the fatal event, which they believe stemmed from a domestic dispute.
As detectives delve into the case, they suspect that Armando may have shot his wife, Denise, before attempting to take his own life. This hypothesis is underscored by the recovery of a firearm at the scene, as per official reports. The Police Department is actively inviting anyone with pertinent information to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
The Redwood City Police Department's appeal for public assistance was mirrored in an article by Hoodline, urging witnesses or anyone with knowledge relating to the case to contact them at 650-780-7100.
