* Joe Trujeque Identified As Man Killed In San Jose In The 100 Block Of South King Road On Sept 26th
Published by Staff Writer on September 30, 2009
Police have identified a 35-year-old San Jose man as the person who died following a stabbing in the city over the weekend.The stabbing happened at a house in the 100 block of South King Road at about 9:40 p.m. Saturday. Four people were left hospitalized with stab wounds and one of the victims “took a turn for the worse” on Sunday and died, police spokesman Sgt. Ronnie Lopez said. He has been identified as Joe Trujeque, according to police.Police determined that the stabbings occurred during a fight, Lopez said. Two groups argued earlier in the night before parting ways temporarily, he said. The two parties eventually met up again and the argument escalated into a physical fight.There is a “strong possibility” the stabbings are gang-related, Lopez said earlier this week. Police have identified several male suspects in their late teens.Saturday’s incident is not connected to a Sunday night triple stabbing that occurred after a fight broke out in another San Jose
neighborhood, near East William Street and McLaughlin Avenue, Lopez said. However, the triple stabbing may also be gang-related, he said.Police are investigating the homicide, which marked San Jose’s twenty-first of the year, and encourage anyone with information to contact Sgt. Mike Brown or Sgt. Paul Kelly of the Police Department’s homicide unit at (408) 277-5283.
