San jose man charged with murder after alleged stalking campaign ends in fatal stabbing

SAN JOSE, CA – A San Jose man accused of tracking and harassing his estranged wife for months is now charged with her murder after prosecutors say the situation turned fatal inside a local apartment. Pablo Aguileramora, 46, is accused of stabbing his 45-year-old wife to death on June 11, just two months after the couple separated following a 10-year marriage.

Court documents obtained by Law&Crime state that the victim identified her attacker before she died. “Before being transported by emergency medical services, [the victim] advised patrol that her husband, Pablo, had stabbed her,” the documents say. She suffered multiple stab wounds and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

History of alleged stalking and harassment

Aguileramora had already been facing charges related to stalking prior to the killing. He was arrested in March and later released while those charges were pending, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.

“On March 18, Aguileramora was arrested for stalking the victim, showing up at her work, slashing her car tires, implanting three electronic trackers in her car, and sending her more than 100 texts and voicemails,” the DA’s office said in a press release.

Prosecutors say the behavior extended beyond surveillance and communication. “He tried to get a job at the company where she worked,” the DA’s office added. “An Emergency Protection Order was granted and served. Less than three months later, the victim was dead.”

According to court filings, the victim reported multiple encounters after their separation. She told police she saw Aguileramora “outside on her back patio and sitting on the bench yelling her name out on multiple occasions.” Documents also allege he appeared at her workplace and church.

Protective orders in place at time of killing

At the time of the fatal attack, Aguileramora was under strict court-ordered conditions. These included GPS ankle monitoring, a no-contact order, and a requirement to remain at least 300 yards away from the victim’s home and workplace.

Despite those restrictions, police say he located the victim at an apartment in San Jose, where the stabbing occurred. Authorities allege Aguileramora attempted to stab himself after the attack.

He is currently charged with murder and is scheduled to appear in court for a plea hearing at the end of August.
