( KRON ) — A San Jose gunman fled to the Las Vegas area after detectives said he killed his victim inside a South Bay business in the summer of 2024. The San Jose Police Department identified the suspect on Friday as 39-year-old Lam Thanh Mac.
San Jose officers responded on August 11, 2024, at 3:18 a.m. to the 900 block of McLaughlin Avenue on multiple reports of a shooting. Arriving authorities found a man inside a business suffering from at least one gunshot wound. The man was rushed to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The fatal shooting was the city’s 20th homicide of 2024, San Jose PD said.
Detectives with SJPD’s Homicide Unit identified Mac as the primary suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest. Mac, police said, “immediately left the area after the incident and is believed to have fled to the greater Las Vegas Metropolitan area of Nevada.”
