Once on scene, APD said officers found a man, identified as 34-year-old Miguel Guevara, who was injured. Responders provided medical assistance, and Guevara was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly before 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

According to APD, Guevara got involved in an argument with his girlfriend that escalated to the point where he pointed a gun at her. A separate issue then arose between Guevara and his roommate, identified as 24-year-old Christopher Foy, over rent payments.<\/p>\n

During the incident, Foy allegedly shot Guevara and subsequently left the scene.<\/p>\n

Foy was located and arrested on Tuesday afternoon in the 4600 block of Nuckols Crossing in southeast Austin. He faces a murder charge.<\/p>\n

The incident is being investigated as Austin’s 46th homicide of 2026.<\/p>\n
