According to police, Castillo was one of three armed suspects sought in the death of the 38-year-old Wrenn, a San Jose resident was found with fatal gunshot wounds in a hallway of the Lundy building.

Since then, two of the suspects in his murder have been killed by police, but a third is still on the run.
The police shooting of a homicide suspect came under intense scrutiny when LaDoris Cordell, the recently retired head of San Jose’s Office of the Independent Police Auditor, filed a complaint Wednesday against the San Jose Police Department, saying the shooting “raised a number of red flags”.
“There was probably concern about what information this female had about the homicide and the suspect’s concern about her divulging that information and putting him in jeopardy of being apprehended”, Garcia said.
Relatives planned a vigil Tuesday evening near the shooting scene on Kirkhaven Court. Enrique Garcia of of the San Jose Police Department said at a press conference. Garcia said he was spotted in a auto Monday night with a woman he allegedly meant to kill. He died on the front stoop.
“You can’t shoot someone in the back just because they’re running away and they used to be risky”, Haddad said. In that instance, officers with SJPD’s Covert Response Unit were tracking a suspect connected to the same homicide that left Wrenn mortally wounded in an office complex last week.
“In the spirit of being transparent, we released an initial statement that was not factually correct”, Garcia said. “If he allowed this person to break into or go into this house, we have a barricaded, hostage situation, and we know this person is suspected of having murdered someone else”.
One officer following the man jumped out of a auto and ran after him. “She was all upset”, Rosas said, but the woman managed to make a call on her cell phone. The daughter also asked whether Rosas had a home security camera that might have caught the shooting on video. She said he was a doting grandfather of her 1-year-old daughter.
“He was willing to do anything for anyone”, the daughter said.
“I trusted him with my life and her life”, she said.
Quiet has returned to the neighborhood around Kirkhaven court and Stoneyhaven Way, but people here are still a bit nervous that a third homicide suspect is still on the loose.
Jim Dudley, a former San Francisco police captain and now a criminal-justice lecturer at San Francisco State University, said the error hurts a police force not with skeptics or supporters, but with citizens toward the center of that spectrum. He loved his family. “They didn’t have to kill him”, Miranda Montiel, Jacquez’s niece, said. “When he was shot, he was unarmed”. “They didn’t have to kill him”. “We rectified it after we interviewed all the witnesses. Yeah he may have committed crimes, but he was a good person”. Police initially said the suspect reached into his waistband for a gun, prompting two officers to shoot and kill him.
The laundromat owner told this newspaper that he saw the suspect with a pistol in his hand.
The man seen in the video in all black is the person police are still looking for.

“We really could use some leads from the public regarding identifying that third individual, who is considered armed and risky”, police spokesman Sgt.
