San Jose police on Friday announced they arrested multiple suspects in the city’s first homicide of 2025.
The eight alleged gang members suspected in the January slaying of a young man in San Jose were involved in a much larger operation that San Jose police Chief Paul Joseph called a "reign of terror," as it involved the killings of other people in Monterey County.
The alleged gang was based out of Greenfield in Monterey County, and Joseph described the suspects, who ranged in age from 18 to 20, as "ruthless."
On the morning of Jan. 11, those men drove as much as 100 miles from places in Monterey County to San Jose with the intent of killing a rival gang member, Joseph said.
They allegedly shot and killed a 27-year-old man at random on Loma Verde Drive in San Jose, according to police. That was the city’s first homicide this year. It was unclear if the victim was affiliated with a gang.
The chief said the suspects left San Jose like they were "leaving a concert."
On Wednesday, law enforcement officers from mulitple jurisdictions executed a large-scale operation to arrest the men at a home in Greenfield and other locations. In all, there were 14 search warrants served for the various properties.
The entire operation involved more than 100 officers and several SWAT teams. The operation stretched from King City to Sacramento.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Authorities announced the arrests of eight alleged gang members in connection with a killing in San Jose.
San Jose's first homicide of 2025
What we know: The killing occurred on Jan. 11 at around 10:11 p.m. in the 3100 block of Loma Verde Drive, marking the city’s first homicide of the year, according to the San Jose Police Department. The suspects are not from San Jose, and traveled nearly 100 miles from Monterey County.
Police Chief Paul Joseph described the suspects as members of a "ruthless gang" who were "motivated to find and kill rival gang members. They targeted a specific San Jose neighborhood with their evil intent."
Victim didn't know his killers
Dig deeper: However, the 27-year-old victim had no connection to the suspects. He was randomly targeted, Joseph said.
The victim died from his injuries at a local hospital.
‘Assasination routlette’
Why you should care: Joseph compared the suspects’ actions to a game of "assassination roulette," saying they did not hesitate to take a life.
The suspects are alleged members of a Norteño street gang subset that operates out of Soledad, King City, and Greenfield.
Joseph said the gang has unleashed a reign of terror on Monterey County, including a quadruple murder and the shooting of a 6-year-old at a baptism.
The chief and San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said the suspects thought they could do the same in their city.
"They learned they were wrong," Joseph said."To the people of San Jose. We have stopped their reign of terror."
The suspects were arrested Wednesday as part of a joint operation involving several agencies. They were all booked on homicide charges.
