Yolanda Najera, 53, was shot and killed during a hostage situation at her San Jose home on Camden Avenue on November 9, 2015. The assailant, Leonel Acevedo, 45, a former tenant who had been evicted in July 2015, forced entry into Najera’s residence armed with a handgun and held her hostage for about three hours. Officers exchanged gunfire with Acevedo; he died in the shootout and one police officer was wounded and survived.

Neighbors remembered Najera as a kind, caring grandmother who often walked her grandchildren to school. Police said Acevedo and Najera had a history of conflicts, including a recent intense argument, and noted the eviction was a factor in the events, but investigators had not established a clear motive. Does anyone have information about Najera’s life or the events leading up to November 9, 2015 that could help clarify what happened?
