Two Arrested, One Sought Near Manor After 10 South Austin Shootings

Police say the drive-by attacks appear random with no known motive.

Overview

  • Investigators say the shootings that unfolded Saturday into Sunday led to two arrests, and officers are now searching the Manor area for a third suspect.
  • The spree left four people injured, including one person in serious condition, and officials reported no fatalities.
  • Police described the suspects as males in their late teens who have switched between stolen cars, including a black or dark blue 2012 Hyundai Sonata with a broken right passenger window, a gold Hyundai sedan, a silver Mazda four-door, and a white Kia Optima.
  • An earlier shelter-in-place covered a large South Austin zone bounded by South Slaughter Lane, East McKinney Falls Parkway, North Ben White Boulevard, and West Escarpment Boulevard, and later advisories shifted to specific Manor neighborhoods.
  • At least two Austin fire stations were struck by gunfire without injuries to firefighters, and authorities urged residents not to approach suspects, to secure vehicles, and to share tips with APD at 512-974-5177 or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477 for a reward of up to $1,000.
