In July 2025, a San Jose police officer shot and killed a heavily armed man dressed in military fatigues after he shot at officers.

An investigator’s hunch led the DA’s Office to a suspect in the 33-year-old gang murder of a 14-year-old in San Jose. The man, who was living under another name in Ohio, was killed in a shootout with the FBI 17 years ago.

San Jose Police officers were investigating a disturbance in the 6100 block of San Ignacio Avenue when they made contact with an armed man who allegedly shot at them and hit two officers.

A high-speed chase and car jacking in San Jose in 2019 ended in a shootout that killed the suspect’s partner.

The shootout in the 100 block of Bendorf Drive in San Jose followed a 9-mile chase from the scene of Tuesday evening killing in East San Jose.
