Man Found Shot Dead Inside Car In San Jose

SAN JOSE (KCBS) - A man was found shot dead inside of a car in San Jose Monday afternoon.

San Jose Police Sgt. Jason Dwyer said police responded to reports of gunfire at 13th and Charles Monday afternoon at about 1:30 p.m.

When they arrived they found a car with an adult inside shot at least one time. He was later pronounced dead according to police.

"At this point we don't know exactly what the motive is behind the killing, but a very brazen broad daylight shooting," said Dwyer.

A homicide unit was on the scene of what was described as an industrial area not known for having had previous gang-related activity according to Sgt. Dwyer.

There's no word on what led to the shooting and police are not saying if they have a description of the suspect at this time.

The murder is the 25th in San Jose this year.
