BELMONT, Calif. (KRON) -- Police arrested four suspects in the 2019 killing of a 17-year-old Bay Area student.

Belmont police officers found the body of Mohammad Othman in the parking lot of Central Elementary School on the night of Jan. 7, 2019 while responding to reports of a possible kidnapping.

He was a student at Carlmont High School and resided in Redwood City.

“He was a really good kid always encouraging of his teammates, guys wanted to be around him, kind of an infectious personality,” Carlmont football coach Jake Messina told KRON4 at the time of the murder.

The suspects are identified as:

  • 23-year-old Ruben GonzalezMagallanes of Indianapolis, Indiana
  • 21-year-old Antonio Valencia of Concord
  • A 19-year-old man from South San Francisco who remains unidentified because he was a minor at the time of the crime
