Overview
- The county medical examiner named the dead as Mark Heflin, 52, of Santa Clara, and Matthew Heflin, 49, of Bloomington, Indiana, and said Mark died from multiple gunshot wounds while Matthew’s cause is pending.
- Police had responded to a report of a shooting and found a man outside a home with at least one gunshot wound who was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Officers then found a house on the same block on fire and later used drones to spot a second body at the rear of the burned home.
- Severe damage made the structure unsafe, and city building officials required safety steps that delayed entry until the next day.
- Detectives say the case appears targeted with no public threat, have not released a motive or the men’s relationship, and ask for tips at 408-615-4814 or the anonymous line at 408-615-4847.
