"Police were able to use a license plate reader to find the vehicle the suspect allegedly used to leave the scene. Investigators eventually identified the suspect as a Washington state man who allegedly traveled to San Jose for the Super Bowl game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots."
"San Jose police worked with authorities in Washington to arrest Tyrone Asphy at his Federal Way residence, where they collected both a handgun and a Seahawks jacket and jersey as evidence, according to the release."
"Our detectives followed the evidence across state lines and brought him into custody. If anyone comes here to threaten our community, they should expect the same result, Mahan said."
A shooting in downtown San Jose on Super Bowl Sunday, February 8, left six people with non-life-threatening injuries. The incident occurred around 10:50 p.m. near Santa Clara and Market streets when two groups began arguing outside a business. Police used license plate readers to track the suspect's vehicle and identified him as a Washington state resident who had traveled to San Jose for the Seahawks-Patriots game. Authorities arrested Tyrone Asphy at his Federal Way residence and confiscated a handgun, Seahawks jacket, and jersey as evidence. Asphy faces attempted murder charges and extradition to Santa Clara County. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan emphasized that the city would hold the suspect accountable.
