Tarrah Lynn Taylor, 26, of San Jose, was shot and killed in the early hours of September 16, 2025. Officers who went to Chynoweth Avenue after reports of gunfire and a woman screaming found Taylor outside a home with gunshot wounds and visible neck trauma; she was taken to a hospital where she died. Two people inside the residence, 24-year-old Jeannessa Caillean Lurie and 26-year-old Max Chavez Ryan, were also found with gunshot wounds; Lurie died at the scene and Ryan later at a hospital.

In the days before the shooting Taylor had reported to police that her former boyfriend, 27-year-old Joseph Charles Vicencio, had strangled and beaten her. Investigators say witnesses heard Vicencio talk about that prior assault, worry about being reported to police, and mention preventing loose ends. Authorities allege he returned after midnight, opened fire, and fled; detectives identified Vicencio as the suspect within hours and he was arrested the next day and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail without bail. Coverage noted officials were still sorting the relationships among the three victims while families mourned.
