San Jose police confirmed Saturday that they are treating the stabbing death of a woman at a Carl's Jr. last week as a homicide.
The woman succumbed to her injuries late Friday, police said. A man who was also injured in Tuesday's stabbing remains hospitalized in critical condition.
The victims were attacked by several men who got away in a car, according to police.
Police on Friday said they have suspects in custody but will not release any further information on their identities until the investigation is completed.
Tuesday night's attack follows another deadly stabbing of a 24-year-old man on Christmas Day.
The victim in the Dec. 25 stabbing has been identified as Luis Marin, who police said was found with at least one stab wound in the 200 block of N. 26th Street. Marin was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
People with information are asked to contact Detective Sergeant Bert Milliken or Detective Raul Corral of the San Jose Police Department's Homicide Unit at (408) 277-5283.
