He was shot by an armed robber shortly after arriving at the residence. Denis was with his wife, Maria Cortes, and their young daughters when the robbery occurred.

Maria Cortes has been vocal about her frustration with the lack of progress in the investigation and has been waiting for the Houston police to fulfill their promises of bringing the responsible individual to justice. The case highlights the devastating consequences of such crimes, as well as the emotional toll on the surviving family members who continue to wait for answers and justice for Denis's murder. His daughters, who were very young at the time, now wear their father's picture, a reminder of the impact his death had on their lives.
