San Jose police have arrested three men on suspicion of attacking another man with machetes in June, the department announced Wednesday.
The suspects – 43-year-old Juan Ramirez of San Jose, 41-year-old Eddie Herena of Martinez and 43-year-old Raul Moreno of San Jose – were booked into jail for attempted murder in connection with the June 27 attack, which was captured by surveillance cameras. The victim suffered multiple stab wounds, but his injuries were said to be non-life-threatening, according to police.
The attack happened just before 10 p.m. in a business parking lot along the 2600 block of Alum Rock Avenue, police said.
Responding officers determined the victim got into an altercation with the suspects earlier in the day. The victim did not know the suspects, according to police.
The victim and suspects parted ways after the altercation, but the suspects later searched for the victim, found him and attacked him with machetes, police said.

Detectives took over the investigation and identified the suspects. They also determined that Herena was convicted for a 2005 homicide in San Jose and was released from prison in 2018.
Authorities obtained arrest warrants for the three suspects as well as a search warrant for Herena's home, police said.
Herena and Ramirez were both arrested on Sept. 10, according to police. Moreno was arrested the following day. All three were later booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail for attempted murder.
"These suspects sought out their victim and knew they wanted to take a life," acting San Jose police Chief Paul Joseph said in a statement. "Violent criminals have no place in our community and I am grateful our Detectives acted swiftly to put these suspects behind bars."
“Herena was convicted for a 2005 homicide in San Jose and was released from prison in 2018.”
I would not be surprised that we learn that Harris implemented revolving door policies in California during her stint as AG that let Herena out.
“Dreamers” or ‘newcomers’?
How’s that US popultion replacement going?

to experience a machete attack by three men and emerge with “multiple stab wounds” that are “not life threatening” is either really weird or nearly a miracle.

Little Giant: How San Quentin News Prepared Eddie Herena for Life on the Outside
https://sff.org/little-giant/
Like any other Friday at lunchtime, La Santaneca de la Mission, a Salvadoran favorite, is packed. Eddie Herena flips his menu back and forth, deep in consideration, before ultimately settling on cheese and pork pupusas. The most mind-blowing thing about being outside, he says, is the concept of having choice in his life.
Herena walked out of San Quentin State Prison last October, after being incarcerated for 14 years. Before his arrest, he had gotten caught up in Norteño gang life in East San Jose. When he was 13, his older brother, also a Norteño, had been killed. Gang life made him feel him accepted. It was exciting, too. He loved the lifestyle — the drugs, the women, the violence. And at 5’2” and 125 lbs, “Little Eddie from the Block” felt protected in the gang. “Being small, I also had to prove myself,” he says. “That I could do just as much damage as the other guys, if not more.”
Well, machetes aren’t really very good for stabbing. Might have been different if the attackers had slashed the victim.
guess they didn’t print the user manual in spanish.

Assault machetes are only illegal in CA if they are painted black and have a pistol grip.
