A man and a woman were pronounced dead after being found shot along a rural road in the eastern foothills of San Jose, police announced Thursday morning.
Police have not identified or captured any suspects associated with the shooting, which occurred along the 3800 block of Sierra Road sometime before 10:03 p.m. on Wednesday.
The unidentified victims were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Both were found to be suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
The area where the victims were found is located in the foothills with homes scattered along the two-lane road.
Nearby resident Gary Lopez said around 10 p.m. a car "came racing down the hill."
"Pretty much almost ran into our property here," he continued. "But then probably about three minutes after that, we heard all of the police and fire rushing up the hill."
The shooting deaths mark San Jose's ninth and 10th homicides of 2018, police said.

"I live in here for 20 years," resident Jose Brazil said. "I never heard nothing like this. I'm kind of scared right now because this is a quiet place, very nice neighbors. I don't know what happened up there."
