A case of mistaken identify leaves a young man dead At 8:03 pm, on Tuesday, March 21, 1995, Augustine Sendejo was standing on the sidewalk in the 1300 block of San Rafael, when the suspect drove by and fired one shot, hitting Sendejo. Sendejo walked across the street and fell to the ground. He died in the middle of the street. The suspect vehicle, which fled the scene east on San Rafael, is described as a late 70s to early 80s dark color Chevy Suburban or Blazer.
The vehicle had 4 KC lights on the top, dark tinted windows, large mud tires, and a loud exhaust. During the investigation, it was learned that friends of Augustine Sendejo had been involved in a run-in with some gang members earlier that evening. Gunshots had been exchanged, but no one was hit. There is a possibility that Sendejo was mistaken for someone involved in the earlier shooting and was not the intended target. Police are asking for your help in finding the person or persons responsible for this murder. Please call SAPD Homicide detectives at 207-7635 if you have any information that may help solve this case.
