SAN JOSE — A man who had been held in a Santa Clara County jail since his arrest last year in connection with a Gilroy homicide died this week at a local hospital for unspecified medical issues, authorities said.

The 50-year-old man’s hospitalization on Nov. 9 occurred amid a record-setting COVID-19 surge in the Santa Clara County jails, which began around Nov. 2 and hit a peak Nov. 16 when 159 active in-custody infections were reported by the county. That includes 30 new cases reported on Nov. 9, which was the second-highest one-day count of the infection spike.
