The shooting happened around 10:25 p.m. on Oct. 31 near Peach Court and 24th Street, San Jose police Officer Tanya Hernandez said in a news release Wednesday.
“The suspect was driving behind the victim’s vehicle and shot at the victim unprovoked, striking the vehicle,” Hernandez said. No one in the vehicle was injured.
Detectives identified the primary suspect as a 19-year-old San Jose man and later obtained arrest and search warrants.
On Nov. 26, police arrested the suspect in Colma, Hernandez said, adding that a search of his vehicle and residence turned up a loaded privately manufactured firearm, ammunition and a device to reduce recoil.
The suspect was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on felony charges including shooting at an occupied vehicle and brandishing a firearm, Hernandez said.
