Yusleidy Gonzalez, a 38-year-old Hispanic woman, was fatally shot on the night of November 24, 2022, after a Thanksgiving dinner at the home of her boyfriend, Eric Van Uchelen, in Houston’s Spring Branch area. Police say Gonzalez’s ex-husband, Yonetsy Montiel Granado, forced his way into the residence through a back door and opened fire, reloading at least once. Van Uchelen, 64, was also killed at the scene.

A 15-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were wounded and taken to hospital in stable condition. Gonzalez’s 4-year-old daughter was present but not physically harmed; Child Protective Services later took custody and placed the child in foster care. Granado fled but turned himself in the next morning in San Antonio and told investigators he had blacked out before asking for an attorney.

Granado, 38, was charged with two counts of capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault and was transferred to Harris County. Bond conditions set in early December 2022 included house arrest with electronic monitoring if released, and prohibitions on firearms, alcohol, and contacting the victims’ families. Anyone with information about Gonzalez or that night is asked to come forward.
