SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – Police have arrested two men whom they say played a role in the death of a 25-year-old immigrant from Ethiopia whose body was found Monday morning in a South San Jose neighborhood.
San Jose police arrested Samuel Rose, 19, and Ronald Correa, 20, both of San Jose, on Monday, according to Officer Jermaine Thomas, a department spokesman.
Rose is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon on charges of accessory to murder and theft or unauthorized use of a vehicle, according to Amy Cornell, a spokeswoman with the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.
Correa, who was arrested on suspicion of murder, is scheduled to be arraigned Friday, Cornell said.
Monday morning, the body of Fisaha Isaac Gebremichael, 25, of San Jose, 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.
Gebremichael died of a gunshot wound, according to police, who have not released any other details about the slaying.
“No motive has been established yet and the investigation is ongoing,” Thomas said.
The slaying, the city’s fourth killing this year, does not appear to be gang-related, according to police.
