"Immediately as Silva got out of his SUV, he was shot in the hand and soon after in the head, grunting and groaning in pain as blood spatter suddenly appeared on his uniform sleeve. He radioed, I'm shot! before more shots flew toward him, shattering glass on his vehicle as he fired back at Husien with his service pistol and eventually getting clear of the firefight."
"Silva drove speedily toward the terminal point of a Jan. 21 multi-agency regional police chase of Davis resident Muhamed Husien, at Notre Dame Avenue and West Julian Street, and nearly hit Husien as he got out of his carjacked white sedan."
"Suspect Mohamed Husien was shot and killed after committing a couple armed carjackings in San Jose and Hollister and shooting a Sergeant during an attempted third carjacking."
The San Jose Police Department released body camera video excerpts complying with a 45-day state disclosure deadline, documenting a January 21 multi-agency police chase of Davis resident Mohamed Husien. During an attempted carjacking at Notre Dame Avenue and West Julian Street, Sergeant Gerardo Silva was shot in the hand and head after exiting his SUV. Despite his injuries, Silva returned fire and pursued Husien on foot. Other officers subsequently shot Husien multiple times before he was run over by a police SUV. The footage provides critical perspective on the officer's injuries and the tactical response during this violent encounter involving multiple armed carjackings and police shootouts.
