The Milpitas community was left shaken earlier this week on March 31, as reports emerged that Jarred Cavan, a 17-year-old male, was fatally stabbed not far from the Milpitas High School campus.
A 16-year-old girl was also injured in the attack. She was treated at the hospital and later released.
Initially, a single suspect, also male and 17, was arrested for the crime, on charges of homicide and assault with a deadly weapon. The suspect was booked into the Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall.
An update from the Milpitas Police Department (MPD) today, April 3, revealed that a second suspect has been connected to the crime, this one a 16-year-old male. Police obtained a homicide warrant and arrested him, too. He was apprehended in Ontario, California, as a result of cooperative efforts between Milpitas and Ontario police, before being transported to Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall.
Said MPD in today’s statement, “The incident remains under investigation, and no additional details are being released. We would like to thank the Ontario Police Department for their assistance in this matter.”
