The rash of crime in San Jose continued Friday with a fatal stabbing and a gang-related shooting.
San Jose police were investigating their 21st homicide of the year and fifth the week late Friday-- a stabbing death near the intersection of Magliocco Drive and South Winchester Boulevard in west San Jose around 10 p.m.
When officers arrived, they said they found a man laying in a carport, suffering from stab wounds.
The victim, 35, was transported to Valley Medical Center but was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Police said no suspects have been identified. They also don't have a motive.
Police earlier in the day also responded to a gang-related shooting that sent a 31-year-old San Jose man to the hospital with serious injuries.
The man was shot three times -- once in the chest and twice in the back.
