Case:  25-0571195

Date:  February 26, 2025

Time:  Approximately 5 p.m.

Location:  6200 block of S IH-35 Frontage Road - Capital Chevrolet

Suspect:  Kaynin Jackson, White male, 31 years of age

On Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at approximately 5 p.m., Austin Police Department (APD) Officers responded to an Aggravated Robbery at the Capital Chevrolet, located in the 6200 block of S IH-35 Frontage Road. The suspect pointed a handgun at an employee and stole a brand new Chevrolet Equinox.
 
Alongside Patrol resources and APD’s Air Unit, several members of the APD Robbery Unit and Violent Crimes Task Force (VCTF) immediately responded to assist with the investigation. APD was able to track the stolen vehicle to a transit station in East Austin within approximately 45 minutes of the Robbery. VCTF officers then covertly followed the stolen vehicle to the Walmart located at 710 East Ben White Service Road Westbound where they arrested the suspect without incident. The suspect was identified as Kaynin Jackson. Upon searching the stolen vehicle, VCTF Officers located a handwritten robbery note, which was presumably either used or meant to be used in a bank robbery. 
 
Through the coordinated efforts of Patrol, Robbery, VCTF, and the Air Unit, the suspect was apprehended within an hour and a half of the original 9-1-1 call. The arrest prevented the suspect from potentially committing several more violent criminal acts against the citizens of Austin.
