Frankie Santos Jr., a 28-year-old father of two from San Jose, California, was fatally stabbed just outside his home on September 2, 2018. The attack happened in the early morning after Santos returned from a Fantasy Football party. After noticing a truck with its lights off on the street, Santos approached the vehicle; his wife, Sky Santos, says he made a comment about a man in a Raider hat and the Niners. A friend began screaming, and Santos was found struggling to breathe. He was given CPR, rushed to the hospital, and died about an hour later.

Investigators identified a suspect vehicle seen in the area as a dark, full-size GMC or Chevrolet truck; later-specified surveillance footage was described as showing a 2004–05 Nissan Titan. The motive remains unclear; family describe Santos as a homebody not involved in criminal activity. The family and community groups have organized marches and offered a reward now exceeding $10,000, and patrols in the Bascom Avenue and San Carlos Street area were increased. The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and asks anyone with relevant surveillance or information to come forward.

Does anyone in the San Jose area have camera footage or details from that night that could help identify the truck or its occupants?
