Great Mall Shooting – One Dead

Milpitas police on Friday night investigated a fatal shooting at the Great Mall’s parking garage.

Just before 7:30 p.m., a man was shot and killed at the two-story garage.

The victim’s identity was not released.

Although Great Mall remained open, police sealed off a portion of the parking structure as they investigated the shooting, near the Sears store.

Friday’s homicide was the city’s second in less than a month and only the second in two years.

On Sept. 23, a man was stabbed several times in broad daylight at a Jack in the Box restaurant. In that killing, the victim and another man were apparently fighting just before the victim was stabbed. At the time, the victim had been sitting inside his Honda sedan outside the restaurant on Main Street.

Anyone with information on Friday’s homicide may call Milpitas police at 408-586-2400.
