Despite life-saving efforts, two were pronounced dead at the hospital. The third's status was later updated to non-life threatening, police said.

Across the state, some of the most vulnerable include the unhoused, whose numbers have increased by at least 22,500 in the last three years to about 172,000.  

San Jose police entered the downtown apartment and found the victim’s body in a bathtub. He had been stabbed and had a rope around his torso.
