Edwin Arevalo, 33, was fatally shot after a minor traffic collision in Houston on April 6, 2023. The Lexus driver reportedly exited, approached Arevalo and fired multiple shots into the Toyota, killing Arevalo. The shooter then fled in the Lexus.

Houston Police Department detectives say surveillance footage and investigative work identified 46-year-old Lydell Grant as the suspect. Grant was located at a nearby residence and taken into custody without incident by HPD SWAT and the Southwest Patrol Division Crime Suppression Teams on April 7, 2023. He was charged with murder in the 337th State District Court and held on $1 million bond. Grant’s case has drawn attention because he was previously convicted in a 2010 fatal stabbing, served seven years of a life sentence, and was later declared innocent by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in May 2021 after new DNA evidence and another person’s confession led to his exoneration.

If anyone witnessed the collision, the shooting, or saw the Lexus fleeing the scene, please share what was seen or any relevant dashcam or surveillance footage.
