Braker Lane, at approximately 11:48 p.m. Saturday, according to Austin Police Officer Austin Zarling. Officers arrived within minutes and found two male victims with apparent trauma to their bodies, Zarling said.<\/p>\n<p>Officers began providing medical aid until Austin-Travis County EMS and the Austin Fire Department arrived and took over, according to police. Both victims were taken to a local hospital, where one was pronounced dead at approximately 12:29 a.m. Sunday. The other victim remained in stable condition, police said.<\/p>\n<p>A person of interest was detained in connection with the investigation, Zarling said. Patrol officers, homicide detectives and crime scene personnel remained on scene early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The case is being investigated as the Austin Police Department&#8217;s 32nd homicide of the year, Zarling said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So from my understanding, Michelobos has been rebranded, and this was the opening night of the rebrand,&#8221; Zarling said. &#8220;This may be related to the opening night of the new business here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Tip Line at 512-477-3588 or Austin Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.<\/p>\n<p>The location has been <a href=\"https:\/\/cbsaustin.com\/news\/local\/violent-crime-hot-spot-has-austin-police-launching-a-new-crime-fighting-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">identified as a crime hotspot<\/a> by Austin police before. <\/p>\n<p>The shopping complex at 900 E. Braker Lane, near I-35, was identified last year as one of the city&#8217;s most persistent violent crime hot spots, prompting officials to launch a new multi-agency crime-fighting strategy there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cbsaustin.com\/news\/local\/violent-crime-hot-spot-has-austin-police-launching-a-new-crime-fighting-strategy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PREVIOUS COVERAGE | Violent crime hot spot has Austin Police launching a new crime fighting strategy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said in October that the address had generated more emergency calls than nearly any other in the city, citing a pattern of shootings and stabbings. <\/p>\n<p>APD Commander J.J. Schmidt said officers responded to 430 calls, made 78 arrests and seized 30 weapons at the location since 2023, but that a spike in violent crime in mid-2025 pushed the department to change its approach.<\/p>\n<p>That effort, known as a Place Network Investigation, brought together city, state and federal agencies to target the complex. In late September, police, fire officials, code enforcement and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission executed a search warrant at a neighboring business, Diablas, and inspected Michelobos. <\/p>\n<p>TABC officials said Diablas was operating without a license and issued a 90-day emergency order against Michelobos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 One man is dead and another is in stable condition after a shooting late Saturday&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-361675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
