Following a frightening incident on June 11, 2023, involving a home invasion and attempted murder, the San Jose Police Department (SJPD) has successfully apprehended the culprits and seized a large cache of weapons. The suspects, Evan Haley and four unnamed juveniles, were involved in a violent home invasion that took place in the 100 block of Bendorf Drive in San Jose, according to the official SJPD report.
The victim of the crime, whose identity has been withheld for safety reasons, suffered at least one gunshot wound during the incident but has since been stabilized at a local hospital.
