Cruz Angel Ayala, a 23-year-old from Tulelake, California, was found with gunshot wounds near South 10th and East William streets in San Jose, close to San Jose State University, on January 26, 2019. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died shortly after arrival. The shooting was the fourth homicide in San Jose that year and prompted a homicide investigation.

Detectives later identified 19-year-old Miguel Munoz-Huerta as the primary suspect. Munoz-Huerta fled to Mexico after the shooting but was located by Mexican authorities working with U.S. Marshals. He was extradited to the United States and taken into custody at San Francisco International Airport on October 31, 2019, then booked into the Santa Clara County Jail on felony murder charges. The San Jose Police Department asked anyone with more information to come forward.
