One man died and a second one was injured in a Sunday night stabbing in San Jose's East Foothills neighborhood, said San Jose police, who late Sunday night were still working to identify suspects.
Officers were called shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday to the 400 block of North Capitol Avenue, where they found two men with stab wounds, according to San Jose police Officer Gina Tepoorten. One of the men was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital a short time later, while the second victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
The identity of the victim will be released by the Santa Clara County Coroner's Office after it confirms the victim's identity and notifies next of kin, Tepoorten said.
The homicide is San Jose's 12th of the year.
The motive and circumstances surrounding the stabbing are under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Ali Miri or Detective Gabriel Cuenca at (408) 277-5283. Those wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at (408) 947-STOP (7867).
