A fatal stabbing incident in northeast Austin on Tuesday evening has led to the arrest of a 19-year-old woman identified as Keziah Titus. CBS Austin reports that the Travis County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call at 6:05 p.m. about a homicide in the 6800 block of Boyce Lane, just south of East Parmer Lane.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered a deceased woman in her 20s with multiple stab wounds. The suspect, Keziah Titus, was detained at the scene and subsequently arrested, with charges of murder now pending against her. She is being held in the Travis County Jail, as confirmed by online records. The identity of the victim has been withheld, pending an autopsy by the Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The investigation, led by detectives and Crime Scene Specialists, continued into the night. KXAN highlights that the detailed circumstances around the stabbing are still the subject of ongoing investigative work.
As of Wednesday morning, court records indicated that Titus didn't have an attorney listed to represent her. Further updates are expected as her legal representation becomes clear, and authorities are able to confirm the victim's identity following the medical examination.
