Houston police have arrested a suspect in connection with a fatal crash that occurred at 12300 Almeda Road in Central Southwest Houston around 1:20 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2025.

Tony Jerome Oliver, 29, faces charges of intoxication manslaughter – death of multiple people – in the 497th Criminal District Court. Oliver remains hospitalized, and a booking photo is not available at this time.

Oliver was found to be intoxicated during the investigation. No other serious injuries were reported.
