A woman died and a man was injured in a San Jose stabbing late Thursday and police believe the man is responsible for the attack.
At about 11:45 p.m., officers were sent to investigate a report of a stabbing at an apartment in the 80 block of Descanso Drive, police said Friday.
When they got there, officers found a man and a woman who had both been stabbed at least once.
Both were taken to a hospital by first responders and the woman was later pronounced dead.
“The preliminary investigation revealed the adult male to be responsible for the stabbing and was known to the victim,” San Jose police said in a news release.
Detectives are still trying to determine how the suspect ended up with stab wounds.
Neither person was identified by police Friday.
It was San Jose’s 11th homicide of 2026.
