On March 18, 2023, at about 11:55 p.m., Houston police responded to an assault-in-progress call at 6001 Bissonnet Street in southwest Houston and found 47-year-old Denis A. Granados in a parking lot with a gunshot wound. Officers provided first aid and Houston Fire Department paramedics transported Granados to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Initial witnesses described the suspect as a Hispanic male about 45 to 50 years old and roughly 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall. Homicide detectives later identified 51-year-old Rolando Diaz as the suspect. On March 29, 2023, members of the Houston Police Department Crime Suppression Team arrested Diaz; after an interview with detectives he was charged with murder in the 185th State District Court. The circumstances that led to the shooting have not been detailed.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Denis Granados, please share what can help the investigation.
