Following an incident on August 4 in San José where multiple shots were fired after a verbal altercation, the San José Police Department (SJPD) has made several arrests. The episode, which resulted in no injuries but saw an unoccupied vehicle struck by a bullet, prompted an extensive investigation by SJPD Assaults Unit detectives. According to the San José Police Department, four suspects, including one who has been identified as the primary shooter, a 17-year-old male juvenile, have now been apprehended.
The investigation unveiled Nathan Le, aged 18, and two male juveniles as being involved in the shooting. Le and one of the juveniles, who turned 18 at the time of his arrest, were found to have firearms, one of which was unserialized, the other unregistered. They have been booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail, the juvenile for conspiracy, and Le for crimes related to conspiracy and firearm-related offenses. The other juvenile was booked into Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall, also for conspiracy.
Authorities are still actively searching for the fifth suspect involved in the incident and have reached out to the community for assistance. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Nishimura of the SJPD Assaults Unit.
