San Jose police hope video will help find third suspect

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- Police released chilling video they say shows three suspects moments before killing a man last week. In San Jose one murder and two officer-involved shootings are said to be connected.

Two of the suspects allegedly involved in that murder were shot by police and a third is still on the loose.

The third suspect is more difficult to identify because his face is covered, but police hope the video will generate some leads.

San Jose police say 29-year-old Matthew Castillo is holding a gun in the surveillance video. Behind him, is a man investigators have yet to identify. Seconds later, police say 40-year-old Richard Jacquez runs to catch up with them. They enter a room in an office building on Lundy Avenue where they find the man they're looking for.

"The suspects were running after and intimidating and terrorizing the victim," San Jose Police Sgt. Enrique Garcia said.

Police say not too long after this encounter, the men shoot and kill the man, identified as 38-year-old Christopher Maxwell Wrenn. Investigators are looking into why he was targeted.

As for the men in the video, so far, police have shot and killed two of them. Castillo was shot at a strip mall on Senter Road Sunday night, after police say he pulled a gun on them.

Then on Monday, an officer shot and killed Jacquez as he was running away after having been tailed by police. Cellphone video shows Jacquez on the ground, still alive, moments after he was shot. Friends and family say the shooting was unjustified.

"He was unarmed and he was shot, and it just wasn't OK. They didn't have to kill him," Miranda Montiel, Jacquez's niece, said.

"I thought we lived in America and you get a trial and you get a jury before somebody executes you,"

Gloria Hernandez, a family friend said.

But police say Jacquez was an imminent threat who was planning to kill a woman for knowing too much about Thursday's murder.

The focus of their investigation is now on the third man, still at large. Police are counting on the public's help to identify and locate him.
