A preliminary examination hearing is set to happen soon over the April 16 homicide in the Seven Trees neighborhood.
SAN JOSE — Three people have been arrested and charged in ain the city’s Seven Trees neighborhood that appears to have stemmed from a fight at a pop-up event hours earlier, authorities said.
Police said a subsequent investigation led to three people being identified as suspects in the killing: 31-year-old Redwood City resident Daniel Macias, 26-year-old Fremont resident Ricardo Padilla and 28-year-old San Jose resident Jocelyn Velazquez. All three are next scheduled to appear in court July 11 for a preliminary examination, the hearing in which a judge decides whether the case can proceed to trial. The swift move toward such a hearing suggests that the defendants and their attorneys believe they can convince a judge there is not enough evidence to uphold the charges.
According to police, detectives determined that at about 4:45 p.m. April 16, Padilla got into a fight while Velazquez was with him at the pop-up event, sponsored by a liquor vendor. Ramirez, the shooting victim, was not a combatant, based on detectives’ review of a witness’s short video clip of the fight.
