Police today identified two men killed in a double homicide Saturday night outside an apartment building in San Jose when a verbal altercation between two groups of people escalated.
San Jose residents Alex Rodriguez, 27, and Phillip Ayala, 26, were killed in a parking lot in the 300 block of San Antonio Court at about 10:45 p.m., San Jose police Sgt. Ronnie Lopez said.
Both Rodriguez and Ayala were pronounced dead at the scene.
A 19-year-old San Jose woman was transported to a hospital with injuries and later released.
No arrests have been made in connection with the homicides.
Detectives have not determined if the shooting was gang-related, but the possibility hasn’t been ruled out, Lopez said.
