Medical Device Manager Stabbed, Killed In So San Jose Identified

SAN JOSE, CA -- A woman killed in a homicide last week in South San Jose has been identified as 59-year-old Bambi Larson, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office.

Police initially ruled the case a "suspicious death." The medical examiner's office confirmed Larson died of sharp force injuries to the neck and torso. Larson attended San Jose State University and the University of California at Santa Cruz, and was a manager at medical testing company Roche Sequencing Solutions in San Jose.

"We are saddened by the sudden passing of our colleague and friend," the company said in a statement. "Given the nature of the ongoing investigation, we cannot comment further, out of respect for the family as well."

Police responded to the 900 block of Knollfield Way at 1:48 p.m. Thursday on a report of a possible death, and found Larson inside the home with at least one stab wound. No suspects have been identified.

Officers have not released further information about a possible motive or the circumstances of her death, and the investigation is ongoing. Police said the case is the city's seventh homicide of 2019.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sgt. Isidro Bagon or Detective Mike Drago at 408-277-5283.
