Michael Shaheen Rezaee, 40, was shot and killed outside a residence on the 900 block of South Wolfe Road in Sunnyvale on Thursday, May 29, 2025. Officers arrived around 7:42–7:45 p.m. after reports of multiple gunshots and found Rezaee outside with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite lifesaving efforts.

Investigators said the suspect was known to the victim and opened a homicide investigation. Family members described an argument at the South Wolfe Road home that escalated into gunfire; they said Rezaee had been protecting his girlfriend from her estranged husband and that threats and jealous confrontations had preceded the attack. A neighbor reported hearing a volley of shots, a pause, then more gunfire, and surveillance video reportedly captured the wounded man seeking help before collapsing.

Sunnyvale’s first homicide of 2025, the case remains under active investigation. If anyone witnessed the argument or has information about what led to the shooting, please contact investigators.
