Overview
- Two separate shootings in Austin left three people dead and one wounded, with the first coming late on July 4 and the second just before 4 a.m. on July 5.
- Officers found two injured men in the parking lot at Michelobos on E. Braker Lane; one died at a hospital and police have detained a person of interest in that case.
- Travis County deputies responded to multiple shots at Bare Cabaret on Reservoir Court after an altercation, and a man in his 20s died at the scene while a woman later died at a hospital.
- Close to 400 people were inside the club or in the parking lot, which required deputies to spend hours clearing the scene and interviewing witnesses while they reviewed video evidence.
- Investigations are active as detectives continue witness interviews and video review, and local reporting noted the Braker Lane death may be counted among the city's homicides for the year.
