Pasadena Police Arrest Suspect in Fatal Stabbing, Victim Found in Roadway

PASADENA, Texas — A suspect has been arrested in connection with a fatal stabbing after a man was found seriously injured in a Pasadena roadway earlier this week, police said.

Officers responded around 2:24 a.m. on April 13, 2026, to the 500 block of Mobile Drive after receiving a report of a man covered in blood lying in the street.

When officers arrived, they located the victim, who told them he had been stabbed and that the suspect fled the scene in his vehicle. Officers rendered aid before the victim was transported by LifeFlight to Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center, where he later died.

The Pasadena Police Department’s Violent Crimes Division launched an investigation. During the process, the victim’s vehicle was located abandoned in Houston.

Over the next two days, investigators worked to develop leads and identify a suspect.

On April 15, police arrested Luis Antonio Aguilar-Nava, 34, and charged him with murder.

The identity of the victim has not been released out of respect for the family.

Detectives believe others may have information about the incident and are asking anyone with details to contact the Pasadena Police Department at 713-477-1221 and reference the case.

The investigation remains ongoing.
