A San Jose man was arrested last week on suspicion of taking part in a gang-related attack in which a group assaulted a man at his home and one assailant struck him in the face with a gun, police said Monday.<\/p>\n
Officers began investigating after responding around 11:30 p.m. April 25 to a hospital, where a man was being treated for serious facial injuries, according to the San Jose Police Department.<\/p>\n
Investigators determined that a group of men had attacked him at his San Jose home and that one of them struck him in the face with the handle of a firearm, police said. Authorities characterized the assault as gang-related but did not disclose what prompted the attack or explain the suspected gang connection.<\/p>\n
Detectives identified Stevenson Tuimavave as the primary suspect and obtained warrants for his arrest and a search of his home, police said.<\/p>\n
Officers arrested Tuimavave on July 15 in San Jose. During the search, detectives found two firearms, ammunition, what police described as gang-related items and illegal fireworks, according to the department. The department did not say whether either firearm had been used in the April attack.<\/p>\n
Tuimavave was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on suspicion of gang-related assault with a deadly weapon. Police did not disclose whether prosecutors have filed charges.<\/p>\n
