After the gunfire erupted, the victims&#8217; Porsche crashed into a nearby high-rise apartment complex.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">By Monday afternoon, plywood covered the damaged windows of The Fay apartment complex as cleanup crews worked to clear debris from the surrounding sidewalks.<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Police said on Monday there is currently no evidence that any of the occupants inside the Porsche returned fire.<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">&#8220;The car crash occurred subsequently after the shooting,&#8221; said San Jose Police Department spokesperson Stacie Shih. &#8220;We are still trying to paint a picture of what led to the shooting, what led to the homicide, and our detectives are working around the clock to follow leads so we can quickly identify and apprehend the suspect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Witnesses describe automatic gunfire <\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"KTVU\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-94395e58=\"\">What they&#8217;re saying:<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Nearby residents reported hearing high-velocity gunfire echoing through the downtown neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">&#8220;Real fast, it happened real fast,&#8221; said resident Jabari King, who was in his nearby apartment during the incident. &#8220;Sounded like fully automatic\u2014like 10 to 12 shots. That\u2019s what I heard, yeah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Another resident, Neil Beck, said the sound of speeding vehicles immediately preceded the gunfire.<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">&#8220;Just heard a couple of cars like going fast,&#8221; Beck said. &#8220;But I know the difference between fireworks and gunshots&#8230; I am thinking maybe someone had an accident or something, but that sounded like gunshots.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  Police probe motive <\/p>\n<p original-article-post=\"\" origination_station=\"KTVU\" data-v-ec26887a=\"\" data-v-94395e58=\"\">Dig deeper:<\/p>\n<p data-v-94395e58=\"\">Authorities confirmed that the three victims do not reside in San Jose.
