"Local and federal authorities arrested a Central Valley man in connection with a string of armed robberies and carjackings across the Bay Area and beyond, alleging he is the accomplice of the man who later led law enforcement on a multi-county chase and got into a deadly shootout with police in downtown San José last week. On Jan. 18, Macias and Husien allegedly robbed a 7-Eleven store on Coleman Avenue in San José. In both robberies, authorities say the suspects brandished a knife at store clerks, and in the first robbery, threatened to kill the clerk, while in the second, threatened to shoot the clerk."
"U.S. Marshals said Macias dropped Husien off at a Capitol Expressway Auto Mall dealership in South San José on Jan. 21, where Husien is alleged to have stolen a green Corvette at gunpoint. The U.S. Marshals said local police had "immediately identified Macias as Husien's accomplice." San José Police detectives and members of the department's Covert Response Unit, along with U.S. Marshals, located Macias at a home in Los Banos and arrested him around 4 a.m., authorities said."
