The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner‑Coroner’s Office identified him after the shooting, which was one of two separate shootings that week and marked San Jose’s 14th homicide of the year.

The San Jose Police Department’s homicide unit opened an investigation but has not released the motive or identified any suspect or suspects. Authorities asked the public for help and noted Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers could be used to provide anonymous tips. The case remains open with few publicly known leads, leaving family and community members without answers.
