The Austin Police Department is on the hunt for two men possibly linked to a fatal car crash that took the life of an active-duty soldier in October. According to an APD release, the crash took place early on a Sunday morning in the 2200 block of East 7th Street, where Migle Kungyte was found deceased. Detectives investigating the case have released footage of the two individuals who might be able to shed light on the events leading up to the tragedy.

The first person is a male, possibly white or Hispanic, last seen wearing a white ball cap, a light shirt, dark shorts, and white shoes. Person #2, potentially Hispanic or Black, was clad in a black jacket, grey shirt, and blue jeans. Both were caught on tape, prompting the police to ask the public to help identify them. The potentially involved vehicle is a 2018–2022 white Toyota 4Runner Limited Edition, complete with black wheels and a bike rack but missing front and rear license plates.
