SAN JOSE — A man was shot to death in broad daylight a block away from the San Jose State campus Tuesday afternoon, an attack that wounded one other man, police said.

It marked the second slaying in as many days in San Jose, which has recorded 24 homicides this year, compared to 10 at the same point in 2015.

The shooting was reported at 2:11 p.m. on South 11th Street near East San Antonio Street, according to San Jose police. Responding officers found two wounded men inside a vehicle.

Both were rushed to the hospital, where one of them died from his injuries. The other victim was listed in critical condition, Lt. Eduardo Pedreira said.

Police did not identify either of the victims, and Pedreira said it was not immediately clear whether they had any ties to the university.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic man between the age of 20 and 30, wearing a dark-colored T-shirt and a backward dark-colored baseball cap, according to an alert from San Jose State University. The shooter reportedly drove away in a gray van.

What led up to the attack, which left the victims’ vehicle riddled with bullet holes, is under investigation, police said.

“As far as what actually happened, we’re putting the pieces together,” Pedreira said.

He added that detectives were expected to continue interviewing witnesses and gathering neighborhood surveillance footage.

In and around the site of the shooting, which reportedly occurred outside on the street, there was no noticeable disruption among bystanders walking by the scene. But a heavy police presence was visible as investigators examined the area.

San Jose State officials said they would not comment on the killing until Wednesday morning.

The killing happened less than 24 hours after a man was shot to death while sitting in a car on Cape Aston Court, off Berryessa Road near Lundy Avenue. In that shooting, police were called around 9:20 p.m. for reports of gunshots and then a man seen slumped over the steering wheel of a car.

The victim in that shooting, whom police also have not identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.

With 24 killings recorded at the halfway point of the year, San Jose is currently on pace to tally 48, which would be its highest homicide count in 25 years. In 1991, 53 homicides were recorded.

The current rate looks especially pronounced because the city recorded 30 homicides in 2015, which was a five-year low. And while those numbers are modest for a city of 1 million residents, police figures for the first half of 2016 show an increase in overall violent crime hovering between 5 and 6 percent.
