The family had just finished having a Thanksgiving dinner when Granado forcibly entered the family’s home through the back door, according to court documents. Granado reportedly pulled out a small pistol and shot and killed his ex-wife, 38-year-old Yusleidy Gonzalez, and her new boyfriend, Eric Van, 64.

Officials said he also shot and injured two additional people, a 15-year-old and a 32-year-old, inside the residence. The surviving victims were taken to area hospitals in stable condition.

Officials say Granado is currently being held in the Bexar County jail and expected to be transported to Harris County Jail.
