When asked by the 9-1-1 call taker if the person was brandishing the handgun, the caller responded affirmatively. Officers responded within two minutes and searched the area. They located a male near the community park in the 10100 block of Baden Lane. Officers attempted to de-escalate the encounter by directing the person to keep his hands up. The individual lifted his shirt and reached for his waistband. At 4:02 a.m., Officer Jake Pitcher, Officer Alexis Cruz, and Officer Avery Zucchi discharged their firearms, striking the individual. Officers secured the scene while conducting a systematic search to ensure there were no additional suspects or threats, and then began providing medical aid. Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services (ATCEMS) later arrived on the scene and continued life-saving measures. Despite those efforts, the individual was pronounced deceased at 4:25 a.m. Officers did not locate a firearm at the scene. It was later determined that the initial 9-1-1 call reporting the person with a firearm was placed from the decedent's phone.
