Lydell Grant, 46
"Lydell Grant, 46, was wrongfully convicted for a murder he didn’t commit in 2010, but over the weekend appeared in court for deadly road rage.
Last Thursday night, Grant was driving a Lexus sedan that was involved in a collision with a Toyota Yaris driven by Arevalo, according to the Houston Police Department, which alleged that Grant then got out of his car, shot Arevalo and then got back in his Lexus before fleeing the scene. Surveillance footage from a nearby convenience store showed Grant allegedly firing multiple gunshots into Arevalo's vehicle, court documents show.
In 2012, Grant was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison in the 2010 stabbing death of 28-year-old Aaron Scheerhoorn outside a Montrose-area bar. Grant was released from prison in 2019 and exonerated by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in 2021 after DNA evidence and a confession by another man cleared him of wrongdoing in the case, court records show.
The man who confessed, Jermarico Carter, who was born exactly one year after Grant and has a similar height, weight and complexion, pleaded guilty to Scheerhoorn's murder in 2022 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison, according to court documents."
