When San Jose police officers with the Metro and Violent Crimes Enforcement Teams served a fentanyl-related search warrant at an unhoused encampment in south San Jose on Sunday, they discovered a big haul of cash and illegal drugs. Two primary suspects were taken into custody nearby and the subsequent search yielded two firearms, narcotics for sale, drug paraphernalia, and over $17,000 in cash, according to police. Both suspects had been prohibited from owning firearms because of prior criminal records, police said.

Police seized over 37 pounds of cocaine and 17 pounds of crack cocaine valued at over $2 million, plus weapons and approximately $120,000 in cash.

Detectives said the illegal drugs manufactured and sold in the Santa Teresa neighborhood by suspect Luis Carrillo-Moyeda, 32, of San Jose, are commonly known as “Tusi,” “2C,” “Pink Cocaine,” “Pantera Rosa,” or “Pink Panther."

The DA task force had been focusing on disarming people ordered by the court to not have guns, but this was the first seizure of a weapons arsenal.
