San Jose Police Release Bodycam of Multi-City Carjacking Chase and Shootout
Nine officers used deadly force against Mohamed Husien, who led a multi-day armed carjacking spree and was fatally shot and run over by police in a South Bay chase.
- A roughly 17-minute body-camera presentation released Sunday shows what led to the Jan. 21, 2026, shootout that left a suspect dead and a police sergeant wounded.
- Mohamed Husien began his crime spree on Jan. 17 with a red Corvette theft in Sacramento, and license-plate readers pinged a stolen green Corvette on Jan. 21, prompting a pursuit toward Hollister.
- Three sergeants and six officers fired deadly force as footage shows Husien was shot multiple times, struck by a police SUV driven by a sergeant, and his 9mm pistol with an extended 33-round magazine was dislodged.
- The investigation by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office and Chief Paul Joseph remains in early stages, with a formal report expected in the coming months.
- Former San Jose police officer Mike Leininger said `I actually became somewhat emotional watching it` and that he saw no grounds for criminal charges, reflecting some officer defenses.
