The APD Aggravated Assault Unit is seeking the public’s assistance with a deadly conduct investigation. The incident occurred just after midnight on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 in a parking lot located at 500 E. St. Elmo Road in southwest Austin.
The suspect was driving three passengers in a silver BMW 5 series believed to be between model year 2010 and 2016. He pulled up to a light-color sedan, possibly also a BMW, in the parking lot and fired multiple shots into the occupied vehicle. Several of the bullets struck the Music Lab building which was also occupied at the time. Both vehicles fled the scene immediately following the altercation. No injuries were reported.
Police were called to the scene after business employees discovered footage of the shooting.
