Susana Elena Hernandez, 27, was fatally shot on September 1, 2022, in a parking lot in South Central San Jose. Surveillance video captured a man identified as her ex-boyfriend, Jose Rosas, driving to the scene, exiting his vehicle and opening fire on Hernandez and a man she was with. Hernandez died; the other victim survived and received a court-issued protective order.

Rosas fled toward Mexico after the shooting but was stopped by California Highway Patrol officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents about 100 yards from the Mexican border and taken into custody. He later appeared in Santa Clara County Superior Court and was held without bail. Court filings allege a history of domestic abuse, multiple violations of a restraining order Hernandez had filed, and charges including murder, attempted murder, assault and carjacking.

Hernandez is survived by two children who live in Mexico; she had moved to the Bay Area to work and support her family. Does anyone have information about Hernandez, her life in San Jose, or the events leading up to that day?
