On the evening of March 28, 2026, 27-year-old Darly Hernandez Hernandez was found dead on a sidewalk at 3501 Hollister Road in Houston with multiple gunshot wounds. Houston Fire Department paramedics pronounced him deceased at the scene.

The Houston Police Department Homicide Division investigated the shooting and released surveillance footage of a person of interest. A public tip from that release led investigators to identify a suspect. On April 9, 2026, members of the North Patrol Division Crime Suppression Team arrested 19-year-old Brandon Cheatom, who was charged with Hernandez Hernandez’s murder and had his case assigned to the 208th Criminal District Court.

The killing was sudden and violent, and the investigation moved quickly from public appeal to an arrest. Does anyone have information about Darly Hernandez Hernandez, his movements that night, or the area around 3501 Hollister Road?
