San Jose man's 2022 death now being investigated as a homicide
The death of a man more than a year ago in South San Jose is being investigated as a homicide following autopsy results released last week, authorities said Thursday.
On July 11, 2022, San Jose police were called shortly before 1 p.m. to the 6400 block of Hellyer Avenue, where CPR was being performed on a man having a medical emergency.
The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
During an investigation, police said a witness stated that the victim had been in a physical fight with a suspect before the medical emergency.
On Dec. 12, autopsy results from the Santa Clara County Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office reported the death was a homicide.
