Myla Thi Dang, 20, was shot and killed on July 3, 2017 inside a rented home near 10th Street in San Jose. Officers responded to reports of loud bangs around 5:07 p.m.; Dang was found with at least one gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said Dang and the suspect were acquainted.

Fingerprint and DNA evidence at the scene identified a suspect, who was charged with murder and a firearm enhancement. A felony murder warrant was issued within 24 hours, and 19-year-old Daniel Gebrehiwet Zeratsion was arrested on July 11, 2017 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection while attempting to cross the Mexican–American border; he was returned to San Jose and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail.

Neighbors reported different groups coming and going from the residence in the days before the shooting and said fireworks had been seen. San Jose police had previously been called to the home for reports of domestic abuse. The motive remains unclear and the case file was under court seal, with investigators urging anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the San Jose area know Myla or see activity at that home in late June or early July 2017?
