Police arrested a 23-year-old ex-convict suspected of supplying guns to a San Jose 16-year-old, who allegedly brought a loaded firearm onto the campus of a local high school.
Both Eric Diaz-Ramirez and the teen were arrested on March 15, San Jose police said Monday.
During simultaneous search warrants at the suspects’ homes, police seized four weapons — three of them semi-automatic pistols — ammunition and about 44 grams of cocaine, police said.

Detectives obtained arrest warrants for both suspects in addition to search warrants for their residences.
Diaz-Ramirez is a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition, according to police. Both Diaz-Ramirez and the teen were taken into custody on suspicion of various firearms-related crimes.
