SAN JOSE -- A Stockton woman has been jailed on suspicion of shooting and killing her boyfriend at a party in East San Jose, police said.
Anna Khoun, 20, was booked into the Elmwood Correctional Complex in Milpitas in connection with the death of 26-year-old Stockton resident Sovannara Liv, who was shot just before 11 p.m. Saturday at a house party in the 10300 block of Beeman Drive.
According to investigators, Khoun and Liv were romantically involved and got into a fight at the party that ended with Khoun shooting and killing Liv.
Sgt. Jason Dwyer said it was not immediately clear whether the shooting was intentional until after detectives spoke with Khoun. No other injuries were reported.
The death marks the 38th homicide of the year for the city, two short of the 40 recorded in 2011, which was a 15-year high.
Until last week, the 2011 homicide tally was 39, but a suspicious death was recently reclassified as a homicide. With more than two months left in the year, there is a chance the city could surpass the 43 homicides reported in 1997, which was the most in a quarter century.
Anyone with information about Saturday's homicide can contact Detective Sgt. Merlin Newton or Detective Juan Vallejo in the San Jose police homicide unit at 408-277-5283 or leave a tip with Silicon Valley Crimestoppers at 408-947-STOP (7867) or svcrimestoppers.org.
