SJ police ID suspects wanted for New Year's murder

SAN JOSE, Calif.

The suspects are believed to be Paul Capetillo, 18, and Bulmaro Aguiniga, 21.

Both are known gang members with ties to the Central Valley, Southern California and Mexico and should be considered dangerous and possibly armed, police said.

Detectives say Capetillo and Aguiniga have fled from San Jose to avoid being arrested. Felony warrants have been filed for their arrests and detectives are reminding anyone who may be associated with the suspects that aiding or abetting them in their attempt to avoid capture is against the law.

Aguiniga is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a tattoo on his chest reading "WSM."
