The victim, who was initially hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, died Monday, according to Hernandez. The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office will release the man’s identity once it is confirmed and his next of kin is notified.
The death marked the second homicide of the year in the city. The same number of killings had been investigated at this time last year.
David Robert Cardoza, 37, of San Jose, was arrested following the shooting and remained in custody Wednesday. Hernandez said his charges will be amended to include murder.
