East Palo Alto police are looking for one or more suspects who were involved in a hit-and-run collision that resulted a man's death on Kavanaugh Drive on Friday evening, according to the police.
The collision occurred at about 10:30 p.m. on the 1400 block of Kavanaugh, according to a news release from the East Palo Alto Police Department.
The victim was identified by police and family members as 26-year-old East Palo Alto resident D'andre "Doc" Stamper.
Stamper may have been crossing the street when he was hit, East Palo Alto Police Cmdr. David Carson said.
Police have located some video and are trying to determine what kind of car hit Stamper, Carson said Aug. 2.
"His family, friends and community were blessed by his heart of generosity, humor, and love," a GoFundMe page raising money for Stamper's funeral and other expenses said. "To know Doc is to know joy."
Stamper dedicated himself "to positive, supportive, and expressive communities as he grappled with ideals like social reform, liberation, and transformative poetic expression," the page said.
As of Wednesday afternoon, people had donated more than $12,700 to help with expenses at the page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/memorial-services-for-dandre-doc-stamper.
Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information about the collision to contact the department by sending an anonymous email to epa@tipnow.org, sending an anonymous text to 650-409-6792 or leaving an anonymous voicemail at 650-409-6792.
