6 SJ Residents Arrested, Accused Of Dollar Tree Murder: Police

SAN JOSE, CA — Two women and four men are in custody on suspicion of a murder last month involving a man following a confrontation and chase with the San Jose residents, the police department reported.

San Jose police officers responded to a 6:48 a.m. call on April 4 to the Dollar Tree Store at 1178 North Capitol Avenue in San Jose on a report of a person stabbed. Arriving officers discovered the victim, Ryan Rousse, inside the store, suffering from at least one stab wound. The 32-year-old victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The investigation revealed that an earlier call describing the victim's confrontation with the group of suspects led to the call ending at the store, where a physical confrontation resulted in the stabbing, police said. The suspects fled prior to police arrival.

After an extensive follow up by homicide detectives at the scene, four suspects were arrested later that night in San Jose and booked into Santa Clara County Jail on murder charges, police said. An additional suspect was found and taken in two weeks after the incident. The last suspect was booked last Friday.

The suspects have been identified as Virginia Cervantes, 27; Susan Sparr, 48; Gabriel Rodriguez, 28; Kevin Tran, 25; Anthony DeLaTorre, 24; and Dialo Terry, 19.

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Isidro Bagon or Detective Ramon Sanchez of the San Jose Police Department's Homicide Unit at 408-277-5283.
