Prabhu's daughter, who lives in another state, was not there.
"The suspect had been in a dating relationship with the victims adult daughter who was not home," San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia said.
"The relationship ended last year. The suspect had a history of domestic violence and there was an active criminal restraining order," Garcia said.
The incident had been reported by the 20-year-old son of Prabhu.
"When officers arrived at the home on Laura Valle Lane they saw an adult man deceased in the front doorway suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Officers learnt from the adult son that his mother and 13-year-old brother along with the suspect were still inside the house," police said.
