| Texas man previously exonerated in fatal stabbing arrested for fatal shooting |

| [NYPOST] Authorities arrested a Texas man — who previously served seven years in prison before he was exonerated for a fatal stabbing he did not commit — for allegedly shooting a fellow motorist in an apparent fit of road rage Thursday. Lydell Grant was taken into custody Friday for allegedly shooting another driver dead after they got into a minor traffic accident, cops said. Grant, 46, and a woman were leaving a corner store in a white Lexus sedan when they ran a stop sign and were hit by a Toyota, Houston police said, according to ABC 13. Grant then stepped out of the car and allegedly fired at the 33-year-old Toyota driver, Edwin Arevalo, before fleeing in the Lexus. Arevalo was shot at least five times, police said, according to KHOU. The fatal shooting comes after Grant already spent seven years behind bars after he was previously — and wrongly — convicted of stabbing 28-year-old Aaron Scheerhoorn to death outside a Houston bar in 2012. Grant was found guilty after six witnesses testified against him at trial, but was declared innocent in May 2021 by a Texas Court of Criminal Appeals after DNA on the victim’s fingernails didn’t match his. He was serving a life sentence for the crime before he was let out on bond in 2019 to await the appeals court’s decision. |
