On February 15, 2026, at approximately 12:46 AM, San Jos\u00e9 Police Department Patrol Officers responded to a report of a shooting that occurred inside of a business located in the 90 block of South Second Street. Preliminary investigation revealed the adult male suspect and the adult male victim were in a verbal altercation when the suspect produced a firearm and shot the victim multiple times. The victim was transported to a local hospital with injuries later determined to be non-life threatening. <\/p>\n
The suspect, later identified as Sean James Jr., was swiftly taken into custody by patrol officers after he was restrained by employees on scene. A privately made firearm belonging to the suspect was recovered from the scene.<\/p>\n
Suspect James Jr. was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail for attempted murder, as well as various firearm-related crimes. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis violent suspect chose to wreak havoc in the wrong city,\u201d stated SJPD Chief Paul Joseph. \u201cI am grateful for the swift response by our Patrol Officers who immediately took the suspect into custody. Our department will pursue accountability and ensure the suspect faces the full consequences under the law.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who comes to San Jos\u00e9 to commit violence should be clear about the consequences: our officers will act swiftly, arrest those responsible, and hold them accountable,\u201d said San Jos\u00e9 Mayor Matt Mahan. \u201cTheir rapid response ensured this night ended in handcuffs, not tragedy. And we will fight for the toughest consequences the law allows for anyone who threatens the safety of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur priority is always the safety of residents and visitors in our downtown,\u201d said City Manager Jennifer Maguire. \u201cIn this case, the club\u2019s staff acted quickly to restrain the suspect and worked closely with the San Jos\u00e9 Police Department\u00a0officers who responded within minutes. That kind of coordination between our local businesses and law enforcement helps prevent further harm and ensures that those responsible are held accountable.”<\/p>\n
