San Jose records its 10th homicide of the year

SAN JOSE – An investigation is underway into San Jose’s 10th homicide of the year, police said Tuesday.

Officers were called to the 1600 block of Inverness Circle at 1:14 p.m. Saturday for a welfare check. They arrived to find a man with “obvious signs of trauma” who was unconscious and not breathing, the San Jose Police Department said in a statement.

The victim was taken to an area hospital, where he died of his injuries, police said.

The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office will release the victim’s identity once it is confirmed and his next of kin is identified.

Following an investigation, officers arrested an adult male family member in connection with the homicide. Police did not release the suspect’s identity Tuesday.

The motive and circumstance surrounding the homicide are under investigation, police said.

At this time last year, eight homicides had been reported in San Jose.
