On Sunday, April 20, 2025, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Austin Police Department (APD) officers responded to multiple calls of a shooting in the parking garage at 2604 Aldrich Street. Officers arrived on scene and located two males lying on the ground of the parking garage with apparent gunshot wounds. The two men were identified as Kendrick Parker and Shamar Roach. Both men were pronounced deceased on scene. The suspects fled the area and were later detained.

Homicide Detectives and Crime Scene Specialists responded to process the scene and interview witnesses. Preliminary investigation shows that this started as a child custody dispute between one group (Parker and Roach) and another group, which included a male and a female. The altercation turned physical, and the male who was on scene with the female, shot Parker and Roach.
 
No charges have been filed at this time, and this is an ongoing investigation.
