Milpitas police have arrested a person on suspicion of fatally shooting a 43-year-old man earlier this week.
Police are not yet releasing the suspect’s name, but he or she is in custody on an unrelated charge, police Sgt. Daryl Sequeira said.
The arrest was made in connection with the murder of Alfredo Rodriguez, who was found suffering from a gunshot wound in the 1400 block of South Main Street around 3:50 a.m. on Monday.
He was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Rodriguez was a resident of Milpitas. His death is the city’s first homicide of the year.
Police are continuing to investigate the murder and ask anyone with information to call the department at (408) 586-2400 or the anonymous tip line at (408) 586-2500.
