SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – San Jose police say the death of a man whose body was found in a South San Jose neighborhood early Monday morning has been ruled a homicide.

Police identified the victim as Fisaha Isaac Gebremichael, 25, of San Jose. He died of a gunshot wound, according to police.

The slaying does not appear to be gang-related, according to police.

It is the city’s fourth killing this year and the second investigated by police in a span of 36 hours. Early Sunday morning, a 29-year-old San Jose man was shot and killed after a verbal argument at a house party on the East Side, according to police.

Gebremichael’s body was discovered lying on the curb at about 5:30 a.m. by a resident who lives in the neighborhood of the 600 block of Braxton Drive, located south of Hellyer Avenue. Police have not released any other details about the slaying.

When fire paramedics arrived, they determined Grebremichael was dead. It’s unclear how long he had been dead or how long to body was at the curb.

    Fisaha didn’t live in the ghetto!
    He was a good man trying to get on the good path of life.
    Those who were his friends new that he had a big heart and would do anything for them! I am going to miss him, and when it is my time to pass through the gates I know he will be waiting there for me with open arms.
    Rest in peace buddy!
