SAN JOSE — A 22-year-old Elk Grove man was arrested in connection with an injury shooting last week in downtown San Jose, police said.
The shooting happened around 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 15 in the 90 block of South Second Street, near East San Fernando Street, San Jose police spokesperson Stacie Shih said in a news release Thursday.
An initial investigation revealed the suspect and the victim were involved in a dispute inside a business when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim multiple times, Shih said.
The victim, also a man, was taken to an area hospital with injuries that were later determined not to be life-threatening.
Employees restrained the suspect until officers arrived at the scene, Shih said. The suspect — identified as Sean James Jr. — was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, as well as other gun-related crimes, and booked into Santa Clara County jail.
A privately made gun that belonged to the suspect was recovered at the scene, Shih said.
Anyone with information related to the case can contact Detective Tien Nguyen at 408-277-4161 or 4431@sanjoseca.gov.
