Multiple crimes
The backstory:
In addition to the residential burglary on May 1, police linked Jimenez to a separate shooting incident that happened in San Jose on May 22.
Authorities say they located several bullet casings in the 100 block of Hillsdale Avenue after reports of a firearm that discharged.
Police identified possible cars associated with the shooting and launched an investigation.
After a comprehensive investigation into both the shooting and residential burglary, detectives discovered that Jimenez was connected to both crimes and obtained an arrest warrant.
Police haven't given details as to how Jimenez was associated with the home burglary.
Police say they also located an uninjured victim in the shooting, who had multiple bullet strikes on his car.
The Livermore Police Department located and arrested Jimenez on June 20 in Livermore during a traffic stop.
Police say that during the stop, they found the firearm associated with the May shooting. Jimenez was booked into Santa Rita County jail for his outstanding warrant, and was later extradited to Santa Clara County.
He was booked on multiple crimes, including assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and shooting into an occupied car.
