San Jose Police Release Bodycam Video From Deadly Downtown Shootout

Officials describe the edited, narrated release as an early step in an ongoing inquiry.

Overview

  • The 17–18 minute compilation includes graphic footage from multiple body-worn cameras and a police helicopter, with narration by SJPD spokeswoman Tanya Hernandez.
  • Police identified the man killed as 30-year-old Muhamed Husein of Davis and named 29-year-old Edward Isaiah Macias as a second suspect, who was arrested on Jan. 22.
  • Investigators say the spree began Jan. 17 with a red Corvette theft and armed robberies, then on Jan. 21 a green Corvette was carjacked in San Jose, leading to two shootouts in Hollister and gunfire directed at CHP during the return north.
  • In downtown San Jose, Sgt. Gerardo Silva was shot in the hand and head, suffered a skull fracture that required surgery, and was released from the hospital the next day.
  • Footage shows Husein being hit by police gunfire, falling, and then being run over by a patrol SUV before he was pronounced dead at the scene, with unedited video to be released under California’s 45-day disclosure rule and multi-agency reviews underway.
