Police confirm a report of a suspect’s capture near Provo; U.S. Marshals reveal that the South San Jose homicide involved an alleged home invasion.
San Jose police confirmed reports that Leimaunaloa Aholelei was arrested Wednesday in Vineyard, Utah by the U.S. Marshals Service and local police. Vineyard is located northwest of Provo about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Aholelei was the subject of an arrest warrant obtained by the San Jose Police Department related to the fatal May 26 shooting of 21-year-old Jonathan Isaac Oliva Rodriguez on Blossom River Way, near the Westfield Oakridge shopping center. in connection with the shooting: Nuuvali Lafo, 19, of San Jose; Isaac Noa, 24, of Los Banos; and Jason Vaavaai, 25, of Los Banos.
San Jose police have not fully detailed the circumstances of the shooting, which was the 15th homicide investigated by the department this year. But the U.S. Marshals Service reported that the killing was preceded by several people carrying out a home invasion and shooting the victim. Marshals were acting on information developed in the SJPD investigation, authorities said, and they had to force their way into a Vineyard apartment to detain Aholelei, who eventually surrendered.
It was unclear when Aholelei would be extradited to the Bay Area; jail records show he was not in Santa Clara County custody as of Friday afternoon.
