- A 16-year-old boy shot in Little Village was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital and later died, while other teens were hospitalized in serious or critical condition.
- In South Austin a drive-by at about 9:29 p.m. wounded two 16-year-olds and an 18-year-old, with the 18-year-old and one 16-year-old listed in critical condition at Mount Sinai.
- Police said multiple incidents involved suspects firing from vehicles and fleeing the scene, complicating identification and leaving detectives still investigating with no arrests announced.
