Overview
- Precinct 4 deputies responded Friday evening to the Montecello on Cranbrook Apartments on the 13900 block of Ella Boulevard and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound near a playground who was later pronounced dead at the scene.
- Deputies immediately established a perimeter and searched the complex as they urged residents and the public to avoid the area for safety.
- Authorities describe the suspect as a tall Hispanic male with a mustache and beard who was last seen wearing a black tank top and black jeans and have warned people not to approach anyone matching that description.
- No one has been publicly identified, no arrests have been reported, and investigators say the case remains an active, developing homicide probe.
- The Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, which named the location near I‑45 and Rankin Road, is the primary source of information and is expected to release further updates as the search and investigation continue.
