SAN JOSE \u2014 A Sunnyvale man and a San Jose man have been identified as the victims of a mysterious double-fatal shooting last month<\/a>, while investigators continue to probe the circumstances of the violence and seek a suspect, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Gunfire was reported at 10:11 p.m. March 12 in the 700 block of East Santa Clara Street, near South 15th Street in the city\u2019s Naglee Park neighborhood, according to the San Jose Police Department.<\/p>\n

Responding officers arrived to find two wounded men, and both died at the scene. They have since been identified by the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner\u2019s Office as 56-year-old Sunnyvale resident Eddie Leon Guerrero Delgado and 41-year-old San Jose resident Oscar Herrera Salgado.<\/p>\n

The coroner\u2019s office listed the cause of death for Delgado as a gunshot wound to his head; for Salgado, it was a gunshot wound to his back.<\/p>\n

Other than neighbors\u2019 reports of audible arguing preceding the shooting, and the sound of a fleeing car afterward, no significant leads have been publicly announced. In a brief statement Thursday, the police department said of the homicide investigation, \u201cthere are no new updates to share at this time. The investigation remains active and ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deaths marked the fifth and sixth homicides of the year investigated by San Jose police. That total has since reached seven.<\/p>\n
