A white San Jose homeowner has been charged with felony assault and may face a hate crime charge in connection with the shooting of an unarmed Black man who was renting a nearby Airbnb, prosecutors said.
According to the Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen's Office, the 21-year-old victim was staying at a North San Jose rental on the night of October 2. Prosecutors said the victim was walking from the Airbnb to a nearby grocery store when the suspect approached him with a handgun.
"Everyone should be safe walking to the store," District Attorney Jeff Rosen said Friday."We will not tolerate such senseless and violent acts in this County. We wish the victim a speedy recovery and will make sure he receives justice for this brutal assault." The suspect, identified as 66-year-old Mark Waters, was arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail. Prosecutors said multiple firearms were seized during a subsequent search of Waters' home.
