Inocencio Granados, a 29-year-old Latin male, was shot and killed on January 18, 2017, on Cooper Street in Dallas during an apparent robbery at about 6:30 p.m. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries. His brother witnessed the shooting while the men were meeting for what investigators say was a social media transaction.

A juvenile has been taken into custody in connection with the murder, but the shooter has not yet been identified or arrested. Police note this killing is one of a rising number of robberies arranged through social media; the city reported 90 such robberies compared with 32 at the same point the previous year. Dallas officers have circulated a bait ad and are planning exchange zones at the city’s seven patrol stations to promote safer transactions.

The investigation is ongoing. If anyone has information about the shooter, or about who arranged the meeting on Cooper Street, contact the Dallas Police Department.
