SAN JOSE (BCN) — A man shot and killed in downtown San Jose early Saturday morning has been identified as 24-year-old Marvin Jackson Jr., a police spokesman said Monday.
Shortly before 2:30 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to a report of a male shot in the area of South Second and East San Carlos streets, police Officer Albert Morales said.
Arriving officers found a man, later identified as Jackson, suffering from at least one gunshot wound, Morales said.
He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later, according to Morales.
Jackson was a San Jose resident, police said.
