The San Jose Police Department is investigating a series of violent incidents that took place on Thursday, including three stabbings, two carjackings, and three pedestrians being struck by a vehicle. The suspect, who has been apprehended, is believed to be connected to a fatal stabbing in Milpitas.
The crime spree started in San Jose's Almaden neighborhood, where the first stabbing occurred near Kooser Road and Bellwood Way. The suspect then stole the victim's car and drove to a Target on Hillsdale Avenue. At this location, he stabbed another individual and attempted to hit a pedestrian while fleeing the scene. The injured pedestrian was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Subsequently, the suspect was seen near the intersection of Santa Clara Street and 16th Street, where he deliberately drove his vehicle into two pedestrians, inflicting life-threatening injuries. Both victims later died from their injuries. The suspect then proceeded to Milpitas, where he fatally stabbed another person in a Smart and Final parking lot.
The Milpitas Police Department responded to the homicide and arrested a man with blood on his clothes, believed to be linked to the stabbings and carjackings in San Jose. While authorities are confident they have apprehended the correct individual, they are still investigating a separate incident on Fourth Street in Saint John, San Jose, to determine if it is related to the other cases.
The motive for the crime spree is still unknown, but police assure the public that they are no longer in danger. The investigation is ongoing, and updates on the suspect's motive and any additional information will be released as it becomes available.
