Police have confirmed one person died in a double shooting that took place Monday morning near the campus of San Jose State University. Kris Sanchez reports.

No suspects or motive were identified, and no further details were immediately available.

The area around the campus has seen an unusual amount of violence recently, including a man shot to death at a restaurant in late March.

Neighbors near Monday’s shooting are frustrated.

“Stop this stuff. It keeps happening more and more,” said neighbor Ahmad Martinez. “The violence is getting worse. Definitely.”

While police are not talking about the nature of the homicide, investigators say they don’t think a killer is on the loose.

“We don’t believe there is a threat to the public. There’s no ongoing threat of some stranger going out and committing these crimes,” said Aponte. “Although it is a highly dense neighborhood that we have seen in the past, many crimes have occurred.”
