An arranged vehicle trade in Alvin, Texas, ended in violence on April 2, 2026, when 18-year-old Emad Siddiqui of Sugar Land was shot during a dispute over the swap. The disagreement began outside a convenience store on State Highway 35 and continued as the parties were driving; a friend with Siddiqui called 911 saying his passenger had been shot. Officers found the vehicle in the 3100 block of State Highway 35 about a mile north of the store and located Siddiqui in the backseat with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators tied the shooting to the earlier argument and identified 23-year-old Eric Olvera of Alvin as the suspect. A murder warrant was issued and Olvera was described as armed and dangerous. After several days, Alvin police arrested Olvera without incident; he was held in jail without bond.

Does anyone have information about the vehicle trade or the events outside the convenience store that evening?
