Police Release Timeline, New Information on Shooting Spree in Austin
APD said the shootings injured four people and damaged vehicles, homes and fire department property as investigators review charges against three suspects.
- Austin police arrested three suspects, including 17-year-old Cristian Fajardo Mondragon and two juveniles, following a weekend shooting spree involving 12 separate incidents across Austin. Austin Police Department Chief Lisa Davis confirmed the attacks injured four people, with one victim remaining in critical condition.
- The spree began Saturday after a firearm was stolen from Central Texas Gunworks, leading suspects to target homes, businesses, and two fire stations using multiple stolen vehicles. Police described the incidents as a mix of "random and targeted shootings" with no clear motive.
- Manor police utilized Flock Safety ALPR Technology to locate the suspects' stolen white Kia Optima on Sunday, prompting a search involving nearly 200 officers. Authorities placed several neighborhoods under shelter-in-place orders before detaining all three suspects.
- Prosecutors are reviewing charges expected to include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and theft of a firearm. While Mondragon faces adult processing, the two younger suspects will be held in juvenile detention under Texas law, police said.
- The Austin Police Department confirmed there is no longer an ongoing threat to the public with the suspects in custody. Investigators continue to review evidence and urge anyone with information to contact the Aggravated Assault Unit or Crime Stoppers.
