Tyler Police Department secured an arrest warrant for capital murder on a Tyler man in connection with the alleged shooting death of his ex-wife and kidnapping of his four-year-old son.
Police are searching for James W. Calvert, 41, who is suspected of fatally shooting his ex-wife Jelena Sriraman, 30, and the kidnapping of their son Lucas, 4.
The arrest warrant was issued by Judge Jack Skeen and a bond has been set at $2,000,000.00.

Calvert is suspected of killing Sriraman at about noon on Wednesday at her home in the 3300 block of Bain Place in south Tyler.
Authorities are searching for Calvert who was last seen driving a grey 2004 Buick LeSaber with Texas license plates DP4G858. The suspect is believed to be traveling with his son, Lucas Calvert, 4, who was taken from the residence.
The boy is wearing blue sweatshirt, grey sweatpants and has silver caps on his front teeth.
