Tyrone Fryman, a 24-year-old resident of East Palo Alto, was shot and killed on October 30, 2014, in downtown San Jose, near Santa Clara Street and 2nd Street at about 11:35 PM. Officers responding to reports of shots fired found Fryman at the scene; he was taken to the Regional Medical Center of San Jose and later died of his injuries.

Investigators concluded the shooting grew out of an altercation between Fryman and 27-year-old Jamie Ramone Lockett. Surveillance video and eyewitness testimony show the two arguing on the sidewalk, after which Lockett walked around Fryman, turned, and shot him at close range. Fryman was shot once, fell, and was then shot four more times; Lockett covered Fryman’s head with a hood and left the scene. A cell phone video recovered from Lockett allegedly shows him holding the suspected murder weapon.

Lockett was arrested on December 2, 2014, in Stockton and returned to San Jose to face charges. He was charged with felony homicide under California Penal Code 187 with special circumstance allegations including lying in wait and accompanying firearm enhancements. Does anyone have information about Fryman’s life in East Palo Alto or the downtown San Jose stretch of Santa Clara and 2nd that might help shed light on that night?
