Francisco David Padilla, 37, was fatally shot during a robbery in San Jose on October 21, 2024. The shooting occurred shortly after 11:55 p.m. on the 1000 block of Saratoga Avenue. Responding officers found Padilla unconscious and not breathing; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

San Jose Police investigators identified four suspects in the robbery and shooting: 36-year-old Daniel Andino, his sons 19-year-old Jose Andino and a 17-year-old juvenile, and 18-year-old Amelia Sistrunk, who is married to one of the Andino brothers. Detectives say the group assaulted Padilla and shot him at least once. All four were arrested on suspicion of murder; the adults were booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail without bail and the juvenile was taken to Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall.

This was San Jose’s 25th homicide of 2024. Does anyone have information about Padilla or the incident that could help clarify what happened that night?
