Court documents show Parkourana has been convicted of several felonies, including twice for possession of an explosive device. He also has spent time in mental court, according to the documents.The attacks began shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday in a San Jose shopping center parking lot where a victim was stabbed in a carjacking, causing life-threatening injuries, San Jose police spokesperson Steve Aponte said.
A second attempted carjacking and stabbing occurred at another San Jose shopping center, leaving that victim with life-threatening injuries, Aponte said.
