Overview

• The Aug. 11 shooting at a north Austin Target parking lot killed cart attendant Héctor Leopoldo Martínez Machuca, 24, customer Adam Chow, 65, and his 4-year-old granddaughter during a busy back-to-school afternoon.
• Police say suspect Ethan Nieneker, 32, fled the scene by carjacking two vehicles, caused multiple crashes and attempted other thefts before officers tasered and arrested him.
• Officers found Nieneker unclothed and clutching a Bible while he claimed to be Jesus, and he has been formally charged with two counts of capital murder and one count of homicide.
• Authorities cited Nieneker’s prior arrests for domestic violence and reported mental-health issues, and they are reviewing whether system failures contributed to the attack.
• Mayor Kirk Watson offered condolences to the victims’ families and Target pledged psychological support for employees as the investigation remains active.
