An employee has been arrested in what officials described as targeted attack on a victim who worked as a bus driver for South Bay transit.
At a news conference Monday at the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office — which provides police services for VTA — sheriff’s Capt. Sugey Jaimez disclosed that the shooting suspect and victim worked together and that “the motive had to do with money owed between the two from their betting activities which had nothing to do with their employment.”
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office has not formally released his name, but listed the victim as a 45-year-old San Jose resident. VTA Carolyn Gonot said he was the father of two teenage children. In the shooting’s immediate aftermath, a union leader said VTA employees scrambled to find out what had happened, as some were just getting off work and sharing information through text messages. The agency pledged mental health and counseling services to employees, and announced stepped-up security at VTA facilities.at his San Jose home just after noon, and booked him into jail on suspicion of murder.
