The owner of a popular East Palo Alto sports bar was shot to death late Wednesday.
John Farmer, 56, was shot once in the chest and died at the scene, said police Lt. Tom Alipio. Farmer owned the Doctor's Sports Bar & Grill, 2240 University Ave.
Authorities have not made any arrests, Alipio said. Detectives spent much of Thursday at the restaurant, which was shut down temporarily, investigating the crime scene. The shooting was the fifth homicide of the year in East Palo Alto. Last year, 14 people were killed in the city.
Authorities are also trying to figure out what happened in a different shooting late Wednesday. Just after 11, two 17-year-old East Palo Alto residents were found hurt in a car at Newbridge Street and Willow Road in nearby Menlo Park.
They told officers they were stopped at a red light when someone in another vehicle opened fire on them, then sped away, Alipio said.
The victims told officers they were on their way to Stanford University Hospital to get treatment but had a flat tire. They could not describe the vehicle, authorities said.
It is unclear whether the two shootings are related, Alipio said.
Anyone with information on either incident may call the police department at (650) 853-3131.
