An older model Cadillac was seen crashing into a utility pole after the shooting occurred. Responding APD officers were able to locate the Cadillac and discovered a male driver that had sustained a gunshot wound. Austin-Travis County EMS personnel arrived on scene and transported the male driver to Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries. The male was pronounced deceased at 10:08 a.m. by Dr. Cardenas.

The Travis County Medical Examiner's will conduct an autopsy to determine the manner and cause of death.
