HOUSTON — Police arrested a suspect accused of shooting a man to death after a car accident near a gas station in southwest Houston on Friday.
Investigators said surveillance video showed a man and woman getting into a white Lexus and running a stop sign. A Toyota, which had the right of way, hit the Lexus in a minor accident.
On Saturday, police identified the suspect as Lydell Elliot Grant, 46.
Police said Grant got out of the Lexus and shot at least five times into the Toyota, killing the driver, before taking off. The incident happened just after midnight on Hiram Clarke Road near Highway 90.
Investigators said surveillance video helped them track down the car and led them to a nearby home where Grant was staying.
According to the homeowner, the girlfriend, who is not considered a suspect, had been staying at the home for about a year. They said Grant had lived there for about six months.
CPS took custody of two children who were also at the home.
The victim has since been identified as Edwin Arevalo, 33.
