Michael Jeremiah Johnson was a 38-year-old San Jose police officer who was killed on March 24, 2015 while responding to a distress call about a possibly suicidal, intoxicated man at an apartment on Senter Road. Officers set up a perimeter and took cover behind vehicles; the man stepped onto a second-floor balcony and opened fire without warning. Officer Johnson was struck by a bullet and killed instantly. Another officer returned fire and the shooter was later found dead on the balcony after a SWAT robot made entry.

Investigators determined the shooter had access to multiple firearms and was highly intoxicated. No other suspects or arrests followed; the shooter died at the scene. Officer Johnson’s death prompted community mourning and discussion about mental health resources and responses to high-risk calls.

Did anyone in the area at the time notice unusual activity at that apartment on Senter Road?
