Carlos Mena Pineda, a 45-year-old Hispanic man, was fatally shot on September 23, 2021, in Houston, Texas. He and his girlfriend were in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 13100 block of Stonefield Drive when Santos Melendez-Granados, the girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend, approached and opened fire with a shotgun. Mena was hit multiple times and, despite being rushed to a hospital, was pronounced dead on arrival.

Melendez-Granados fled but was arrested three days later on September 26, 2021, and charged with murder. Investigators said he had been tracking his ex-girlfriend with a GPS device and that the attack had been planned. The case drew attention for its premeditated nature and the girlfriend’s testimony about that night.

Does anyone have information about Carlos, the apartment complex on Stonefield Drive, or the events leading up to that night?
