What's next:
Authorities said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident and that there is no threat to the community.
The two victims knew each other. Authorities have not said whether both fired at each other or whether one of the deceased was responsible for both deaths.
"I think we still have a lot more questions, a lot more people we have to talk to before we can determine the actual circumstances about how the shooting occurred," said Sgt. Jorge Garibay, of SJPD. "These things don't typically happen in the middle of an intersection like this in broad daylight."
The parking lot remained closed for several hours as homicide investigators processed the scene.
"Our hearts go out to the families that are affected and we do know that the San Jose police homicide unit will get to the bottom of this and hopefully get answers for the families," said Garibay.
