South S.F. police set tip line on fatal shooting

South San Francisco police have established an anonymous tip line for information about the drive-by shooting that killed three people last week.

Three men, Omar Cortez, 18; Gonzalo Avalos, 19, and Hector Flores, 20 were fatally shot just after 7 p.m. Dec. 22 when, police say, three men in a dark-colored Chevy Impala with tinted windows opened fire at the corner of Linden Avenue and an alley called Eighth Lane.

Three minors were wounded in the shooting.

Police say they have not received cooperation from friends or family of the victims, who could provide essential clues about the identity of the shooters. The shooting may be gang-related, police say.

Police ask that anyone with information call the anonymous tip line and leave a message at (650) 829-3700. A reward of $25,000 is also offered.
