On May 19, 2024, at about 8:30 p.m. Dallas Police found 33-year-old José Isidro Granados-Cerritos dead from gunshot wounds in a pickup truck on the 400 block of Alcorn Avenue. A 12-year-old passenger in the vehicle was wounded and taken to hospital in stable condition; two other occupants, including the driver and another juvenile, were uninjured.

Investigators say the shooting began earlier on the 600 block of Jonelle Avenue after a minor traffic accident near a residence where a baby shower was taking place. Attendees at that gathering reportedly opened fire as Granados-Cerritos’s vehicle passed, killing him and wounding the young passenger. The driver left the scene and stopped on Alcorn Avenue, where police were summoned.

Granados-Cerritos was a father of four and had reportedly resumed playing soccer that day after a long break.
