He was fatally shot in the 2700 block of Sand Point Drive near the Eastridge Center shopping mall. The incident occurred just before 11 p.m. while Carlos was on his way home from walking his puppy. The shooting left the community in shock, especially as Carlos was a father to a 6-year-old daughter.
Despite the efforts of the San Jose Police Department, details surrounding the fatal shooting were initially scarce, with detectives struggling to gather substantial information about the incident.
The investigation into Carlos's death was part of a broader challenge for San Jose homicide detectives, who were also dealing with another unrelated murder that occurred just days before.

The police urged anyone with information to come forward, hoping that a tip could provide the breakthrough needed to solve the case.
As of the latest updates, there have been no arrests or identified suspects in connection with Carlos Silvestre Soto Ojeda's murder.
