San Mateo police believe an attack was not random that left a 41-year-old Redwood City man dead in some bushes outside a 24 Hour Fitness center near a shopping center Sunday morning.
Someone called 911 around 8 a.m. Sunday to report a man's body in the bushes near a BMW sport utility vehicle in the unit block of Bovet Road near the Borel Square Shopping Center, San Mateo police Capt. Kevin Raffaelli said.
Officers responded and pronounced the man dead at the scene.
He was identified Monday as Jack Quon.
Authorities believe Quon was killed between midnight and 2 a.m. Sunday, according to Raffaelli. Based on the initial investigation, police do not believe that the incident was a random act of violence.
"On behalf of the city of San Mateo, our hearts go out to the involved victim's family," San Mateo Mayor Brandt Grotte said in a statement. "We will dedicate our Police Department resources to bring those responsible for this violent act to justice."
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the detective division of the San Mateo Police Department at 650-522-7650, or the anonymous tip line at 650-522-7676.
