AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 Austin Police are asking for the public\u2019s help identifying two teenage suspects after a man was robbed and shot multiple times on Rainey Street<\/a> early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Police released new surveillance video showing two men walking through the area, both appearing to hold their waistbands as they move along the street. Austin police said the two men in the video are suspects connected to the shooting, which left one man seriously injured.<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday update, police said the victim was robbed and shot multiple times. His injuries were described as serious but not life-threatening.<\/p>\n

Chris Fuentes, who lives nearby, heard the gunshots go off and all of the commotion below his apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was scared because I was close to Buford’s when that happened. And I was like, no way. It’s happening on the street that I live on,\u201d Fuentes said. \u201cI heard shootings, and I went outside of my balcony. I looked downstairs, and there’s commotion all over the place. Sirens. Everyone’s going crazy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Austin Police described the suspects as Hispanic males in their mid-to-late teens. One is described as medium-built with black wavy hair. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with a white emblem on the front left, gray pants, white shoes, and possibly wearing prescription eyeglasses.<\/p>\n

The other is described as tall and skinny with short black hair and was last seen wearing a black T-shirt with short sleeves, a gray undershirt, gray pants, and gray slides<\/p>\n

Michael Bullock, President of the Austin Police Association, said technology plays a key role in investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe technology is all a critical component to most of our investigations and trying to not only identify people, but also track down where they may have gone,\u201d Bullock said.<\/p>\n

Bullock said Rainey Street does not have the same consistent police presence as East Sixth Street, but that could change after the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’ll likely see an increased presence just overall, but how long that can be sustained is kind of a question,\u201d Bullock said, citing staffing shortages.<\/p>\n

Police said they are still searching for the suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call the Austin Police Department Robbery Unit at 512-974-5092 or submit a tip anonymously through the Capital Area Crime Stoppers Program by visiting austincrimestoppers.org<\/a> or calling 512-472-8477. A reward of up to $1,000 may be available for any information that leads to an arrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 Austin Police are asking for the public\u2019s help identifying two teenage suspects after a man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390764,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-391392","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\/391392","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=391392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
