SAN JOSE — A man who was discovered dead in a parked car east of downtown San Jose has become the city’s second homicide victim of 2015, police said Saturday.

Authorities were notified at 11:20 a.m. about the body in the vehicle, which was parked in a lot in the 1200 block of East William Court and South 24th Street, about half a mile from the Highway 101-Interstate 680 interchange.

Fire crews reached the scene first, said Officer Albert Morales, a spokesman for the San Jose Police Department. Police and coroner’s officials began investigating shortly afterward.

“They located at least one gunshot wound, so we are classifying it as the city’s second homicide of the year,” Morales said.

The investigation is in its early stages, he added. Although police interviewed several people in connection with the case, by Saturday night no arrests had been made and the victim had not yet been identified.
