Eduardo Rodriguez was 20 and a resident of San Jose, California, when he was found shot to death in a residential neighborhood on June 6, 2021. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds; investigators treated his death as a homicide and pursued a full inquiry that included surveillance footage and witness interviews.

Police say the shooting followed a confrontation between Eduardo and a group of individuals that escalated into the fatal attack. In the months after the killing, San Jose investigators arrested several people in connection with the case. Authorities described one person as the primary suspect and reported that individual fled the state after the shooting before being located and returned to California. Those arrested face charges that include murder and accessory after the fact, and legal proceedings are ongoing.

Vigils and memorials have been held as the community and Eduardo’s family seek answers and justice. If anyone has information about the events of June 6, 2021, or the people involved, please come forward.
