2 suspects in May stabbing in San Jose arrested in Oakland, Salinas
Two men suspected of attempted murder in a May stabbing incident in San Jose were arrested last week, authorities said Wednesday. The San Jose Police Department said in a press release that officers responded at about 1:13 a.m. to a hospital in the city after a man had arrived with multiple stab wounds. Officers determined the man had been assaulted by multiple male suspects about an hour and a half earlier on the 1000 block of North Fourth Street, just south of the U.S. Highway 101 / Highway 87 interchange. Police said the victim was left unconscious at the scene and was suffering from life-threatening injuries. He was taken to the hospital by witnesses, and the suspects fled the scene before officers arrived, police said. The investigation resulted in the identification of two suspects, 42-year-old Cesar Castellanos and 45-year-old David Ramirez, according to police. Detectives obtained arrest and search warrants for both suspects and their homes, and on July 24, Castellanos was arrested in Oakland while Ramirez was arrested in Salinas.

Japanese suspect in knife attack wrote 'someone is watching me' in notebooks
Investigative sources have told NHK that a 48-year-old man who was arrested following a knife attack northeast of Tokyo on Monday wrote "someone is watching me" in his notebooks. Shiobara Hirokazu was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly slashing pedestrians on the street of Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Six people were injured, some of them seriously. He was sent to prosecutors on Wednesday. Police say the suspect's face was covered and he had two knives strapped to his waist. He is believed to have attacked people with two 50-centimeter knives he was holding in his hands. The suspect reportedly told police that he slashed those who tried to stop him attacking people. On Tuesday, police searched a condominium where the suspect lives, adjacent to the crime scene. Investigative sources say police confiscated dozens of notebooks in which complaints and worries about daily life were written, apparently by the suspect. Police say some of them contain the phrase "someone is watching me." Police intend to analyze the notebooks to see if they are related to the case.

Driver accused of ramming into LA crowd charged with 37 counts of attempted murder, prosecutor says
Los Angeles prosecutors announced felony charges Tuesday in connection with a car crash outside a nightclub over the weekend that injured at least 37 people and led to the driver being shot. Partygoers were leaving the Vermont Hollywood venue at the end of a reggae hip-hop event early Saturday when a vehicle rammed into the crowd along a busy boulevard in East Hollywood. The car came to a stop after colliding with several food carts, which became lodged underneath the vehicle, and bystanders attacked the driver, according to police. Injuries ranged from minor to serious fractures and lacerations, and some people were briefly trapped beneath the vehicle. LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced 37 counts of attempted murder and 37 counts of assault with a deadly weapon against the driver, who was identified Sunday as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez. He's accused of intentionally driving his car onto the sidewalk. A phone number for Ramirez could not be found in an online database search, and the public defender's office has not responded to requests for comment on whether one of its attorneys is representing him. 'This was an unprovoked act of violence that injured 36 people, some critically,' Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said. 'It's truly a miracle that no one was killed that day.' Ramirez was later found to have been shot in the lower back, but authorities have not identified the suspected gunman. Los Angeles police released surveillance photos Monday from cameras near the crash showing a man with a goatee wearing a blue Dodgers jacket and a light blue jersey with the number '5.' Ramirez has a criminal history that includes a battery and gang-related charge in 2014, an aggravated battery conviction for a 2019 attack on a Black man at a Whole Foods grocery store in Laguna Beach, California, and a domestic violence charge in 2021, records show. Ramirez 'has proved to be violent to strangers and family alike and clearly has a lack of concern for the safety of others,' Orange County prosecutors said in a court filing for the 2019 attack. A 2024 drunken driving case and 2022 domestic violence charge were pending at the time of the nightclub crash, according to records.
