A deadly shooting in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood left one man dead and three others injured early Sunday morning. Authorities received a report of gunshots on the 2200 block of Lincoln Avenue at around 2:58 am, but when officers arrived on scene, they did not find any gunshot victims. It wasn't until later that morning that four men self-transported to hospitals, where they received treatment for their injuries.
The victims were rushed to local hospitals after the shooting, with one man ultimately succumbing to his wounds. Police have launched an investigation into the incident, which appears to have occurred at a hookah lounge and hair salon in the area.
Eyewitnesses described hearing multiple gunshots, with one witness, 21-year-old Amy Duong, recalling that she initially thought there was a fire or someone throwing objects when she heard the gunfire. She and her neighbor, Noah Diaz, reported seeing blood on their stairs after they were told by police about the evidence placards.
The neighborhood is usually considered safe, but residents have expressed concerns about noise levels from local businesses, including the hookah lounge, which has been linked to previous altercations. Duong and Diaz stated that while the area is typically serene and calm, there are instances of chaos in specific areas.
Police officers were seen combing the surrounding streets for evidence, with crime scene tape cordoning off several areas. Lincoln Avenue was temporarily closed due to the investigation, with authorities urging residents to avoid the area and use alternative routes.

! Did you see that 3 people got shot & 1 died in a single incident? That's like, super rare, right? 
According to FBI stats, the shooting rate in CA has actually decreased by 20% since 2018. But still, we gotta take these incidents seriously 
.
. That sounds counterintuitive, right? But I guess more people are reporting incidents & carrying guns themselves is making us safer? Not really sure about that logic, though 
.
In 2022, the US had over 42k gun-related deaths. That's like, a lot of lives lost 
so sad 
this is crazy I mean Willow Glen is like one of those neighborhoods that's supposed to be super safe 
I feel bad for Amy Duong and Noah Diaz though, they must have been so shaken 
maybe the city should look into regulating businesses a bit more? or at least provide more support for residents who live near these places 
anyway, I just hope everyone involved is okay 
. it's crazy how one minute you're chillin' at a hookah lounge or hair salon, and the next...you know, someone's getting shot 
. i mean, i've lived around here my whole life and i thought it was a safe spot, but i guess that's not always true 
. feels like we're just seeing more and more stuff like this in our city lately...it's getting old 
especially at night it's not fair 3 ppl got hurt and 1 life lost cuz of some dude with a gun 
authorities gotta do better than just investigatin they should be helpin the community too. Lincoln Ave is literally gonna take forever to get back to normal 
and now a man is dead, 3 others injured... it's just not right 
noise levels from local businesses should be regulated or something... can't believe cops weren't there sooner when they got that call 
Can you believe this? A hookah lounge and hair salon in the same spot! Like, what's next? A barber shop that doubles as a nightclub? 
The neighborhood was considered safe, but I guess they just needed to 'hair' down their security measures. 
On a more serious note (just for a sec), this is really sad and a reminder of the importance of community policing. 
. it's not just the victims that are affected, but also the whole community. i feel for amy and noah, they must have been so traumatized hearing those gunshots and seeing blood on their stairs 
. And now residents are talking about noise levels from local businesses... it's all just so sad 
. It's usually considered a safe area, but I guess you never know what's gonna happen next 
.
. I get that businesses need to make money, but do we really need so many hookah lounges and hair salons in a row?! It's like they're competing with each other for who can be the loudest 
Anyway, it's always a tragedy when people lose their lives 
. Praying for the families of the victims and hope the 3 others recover soon 
. Noise levels can be super stressful 
. Hopefully, they find the person responsible and bring some justice 
. Fingers crossed for a peaceful resolution
