Justin Robert Dejesus, 25, was shot and killed in San Jose on December 13, 2019. Officers responded to reports of a shooting near Alum Rock Avenue at about 2 a.m. and found Dejesus lying in the street with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified by the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner‑Coroner’s Office.

Witnesses said an argument involving a group of people preceded the shooting, with multiple gunshots heard and a woman screaming. Police detained several people at a nearby residence for questioning; 18‑year‑old Carlos Gomez was arrested on suspicion of murdering Dejesus and booked into Santa Clara County Jail. No motive was released immediately.

Dejesus was remembered as a young father who had survived a near‑fatal car accident and was trying to turn his life around; he left behind a three‑year‑old daughter. Does anyone have information about what led to the altercation that night?
