San Jose Police Feed / By

On May 25, 2023, at approximately 2:00 AM, an Officer was at O’Conner Hospital guarding an adult male suspect in custody for violating a court order. The suspect had been admitted to the hospital for a preexisting medical condition. The suspect assaulted the Officer and threatened to strike the Officer and a nurse with a metal oxygen tank.

The Officer and Hospital staff retreated from the room and called for additional resources.

While alone in the room, the suspect used the metal oxygen tank to break a window and jumped onto a ledge. Two Hospital security guards and the Officer entered the room to prevent the suspect’s escape. The suspect fell approximately 20 feet from the ledge, resulting in life-threatening injuries. Officers and Hospital staff provided immediate medical care. The suspect was transported to a different trauma hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.   

The identity of the suspect will be released by the Santa Clara County Coroner’s Office after confirming his identity and notifying next of kin.
