Michael Ray Munns III, a 21-year-old from Morgan Hill, California, died on January 12, 2020, from injuries sustained in a shooting that occurred the night of December 13, 2019. San Jose police responded that night to a report of an accidental shooting in the 4000 block of Formby Court; those involved had left the scene before officers arrived. The victim was driven to a local hospital by people at the scene and later died nearly a month after the incident, recorded as San Jose’s first homicide of 2020.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Cole Gregory Halvorson as a passenger in the vehicle with Munns when the shooting happened. Halvorson was arrested at the hospital the night of the incident and booked into Santa Clara County Jail on multiple charges including assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, possession of narcotics with a firearm, and possession of a loaded unregistered firearm. The matter was sent to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office for review to determine whether charges would be amended after Munns’ death.

Munns’ mother, Sara Huff, has become an advocate against gun violence since his death. Does anyone have information about the December 13, 2019 shooting or the events immediately before and after it?
