Police are investigating after a woman was found fatally stabbed in San Jose overnight.

Officers responded to the 1300 block of Darryl Drive near Payne Avenue just before 9:30 p.m. Thursday.

The stabbing took longtime neighbors by surprise — who say things like this don’t happen very often in the area.

“Well of course, anytime something like this happens in your neighborhood you cant help but be surprised,” said neighbor Anne Rollins.

At the scene, officers located the female victim suffering from at least one stab wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

“When they arrived officers discovered a 52-year-old woman who was suffering from

at least one stab wound, she was pronounced dead at the scene,” said Gina Tepoorten with the San Jose Police Department.

The identity of the victim has not been released.

This is the city’s first homicide of 2019.

“Everybody here just goes about their business. It’s a quiet neighborhood, we try to mind our

own business,” said Rollins.

Anyone with information is asked to contact San Jose Police Department’s Homicide Unit at 408-277-5283.
