"On a day that should have been a celebration, a dangerous suspect from out of state chose to bring violence into downtown San José and attempted to take multiple lives. He fled back to his home state, but fleeing will not put distance between him and the consequences of his actions."
"At approximately 10:50pm on Feb. 8, San Jose police officers had responded to a report of a shooting at the intersection of Santa Clara Street and Market Street. The preliminary investigation revealed an argument occurred between two groups outside of a business. Police said Asphy produced a firearm and shot six adult victims."
"San Jose Gang Investigations Unit detectives began a comprehensive investigation, and with the assistance of an automated license plate reader, detectives were able to identify the suspect vehicle used to flee the area after the shooting. They later identified the shooter as Asphy."
On February 8, San Jose police responded to a shooting at the intersection of Santa Clara Street and Market Street around 10:50 pm. An argument between two groups outside a business escalated when suspect Tyrone Asphy, 46, from Federal Way, Washington, produced a firearm and shot six adult victims. All victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Asphy fled the scene, but detectives used an automated license plate reader to identify his vehicle and subsequently identified him as the shooter. Working with the FBI and a Washington state SWAT team, officers arrested Asphy at his home on March 11 and recovered the gun used in the shooting. He is being held in King County Jail pending extradition to Santa Clara County for prosecution.
