Rory Park-Pettiford |
Rory grew up in Campbell, a suburb of San Jose. He attended Marshall Lane School and Westmont High School.
Rory and a friend had pulled into the lot of a 7-11 Store on Friday night around 9:00 p.m.. They were approached by 2 armed men who attempted to steal Rory's vehicle. Rory was shot during the altercation.
Jonathan Wilbanks and an unidentified accomplice also opened fire on a San Jose Police Officer, who narrowly escaped injury.

It is believed that Jonathan Wilbanks and his accomplice were involved in 4 other incidents that night - the robbery of a Little Caesars Pizza, the robbery of a gas station, the robbery of a Jack in the Box restaurant, and the robbery of a spa. And then these men proceeded to the 7-11 to kill Rory Park-Pettiford.
Jonathan Wilbanks was arrested after a brief car chase, but police are still searching for the second suspect.
