SAN JOSE, Calif. (KTVU) - Authorities in Stanislaus County on Saturday arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting in San Jose a day earlier, police said.
According to police, Robert Eugene Styr, of San Jose, is accused of fatally shooting a man Friday in the 1500 block of Parkmoor Avenue around 12:40 p.m.
Authorities found the victim suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He died from his injuries at a local hospital a short time later.
Detectives were able to identify Styre as the suspect in the shooting and learned he had connections to Stanislaus County, so notified local law enforcement agencies.
