SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) -- A mother and her son were shopping on Story Road in San Jose when they were robbed and assaulted by a group of suspected gang members, police said.
The violent assault happened in broad daylight on January 18. Two suspects -- Emiliano Jimenez, 20, and Tommy Gonzalez, 19 -- were found this week and arrested, police said. Three additional suspects were also arrested in connection to the assault.
The mother and son were shopping at stores on the 3000 block of Story Road at 1:33 p.m. January 18 when the son was attacked, the San Jose Police Department said.
"The suspects violently assaulted the juvenile victim, causing him to lose consciousness," SJPD spokesperson Stacie Shih wrote. When the victim's mother tried to intervene and protect her unconscious son, she was also assaulted by the gang members, police said.
The group fled from the scene before police officers arrived.
SJPD Gang Investigations Unit detectives began a comprehensive investigation and identified the five suspects as Jimenez, Gonzalez, and 18-year-old Mario Perez, and two boys who are younger than 18, Shih said. All of the suspects live in San Jose and police described the attack as "gang-motivated."
