He has been identified to be working with the Fresh off the Boat Killers (FK) gang. Members of the FK gang are known to be involved in organized crime activities.

Granado is from Calgary and he has strong ties to the city. Investigators believe he may be living in the Greater Toronto Area under a false identity, evading arrest with Tommy Ngo, another individual wanted for murder by the Toronto Police Service.
