AUSTIN, Texas — A shooting early Monday morning near Interstate 35 in North Austin left one person dead.
At 2:32 a.m. on Dec. 12, a man was shot at 11902 North I-35 according to the Austin Police Department (APD). Officers were called out to the parking lot of AAA Limousine, where they discovered a man that was bleeding heavily.
Officers performed life-saving measures but the man later died at the scene. APD stated that this was an isolated incident and there is not a threat to the public.
On Dec. 16, police identified the deceased as Tyrone Young, 24.
Investigators believe the shooting occurred in a game room that had automated slots located behind the limo business, as the two businesses share a parking lot.
Preliminary investigation suggests Young was attempting to rob an individual inside the game room when another person inside confronted him. That person reportedly shot Young before he walked into the parking lot, where he collapsed.
Further details are limited at this time, but no suspect is in custody.
This is Austin's 68th homicide of 2022. At this time last year, there were 88 homicides.
Anyone with any information should contact the Austin Police Department at 512-974-TIPS.
