A fourth suspect was arrested Wednesday in connection with the shooting of a 12-year-old boy and the stabbing of his 13-year-old friend while they were trick-or-treating Halloween night in San Jose, police said.

Eduardo Cristobal, an 18-year-old Milpitas resident, was taken into custody Wednesday, and three juveniles, a 15-year-old boy and two 16-year-old boys were arrested earlier this week. Police are not releasing the names of the juveniles.

Police said the attacks were gang-related, although the victims are not affiliated with a gang. The trick-or-treaters were however wearing Nike Cortez shoes.

"I wouldn't allow my child to wear that shoe," said Mario Maciel, who manages gang intervention for San Jose.

He said that the Cortez, especially in red or blue, is on the long list of clothing that gangs use to identify themselves and their enemies.

"To them, that's enough sometimes to elicit violence," said Maciel. "It's so unfortunate."

The boys were attacked shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday while they were trick-or-treating in the 2000 block of Story Road, police said. The 12-year-old boy who was shot remains in critical condition, and his friend who was stabbed is recovering, according to police.
