Details emerge in the aftermath of a shooting that disrupted a Juneteenth celebration in Round Rock's Old Settlers Park. The tragic event resulted in the death of two individuals, 33-year-old Lyndsey Vicknair from Manor and 54-year-old Ara Duke from Pflugerville, as announced by Round Rock police. According to KXAN, the incident occurred on Saturday night and left an additional 14 people with injuries. Notably, Vicknair and Duke were not involved in the initial altercation that escalated into gunfire.

The response from the community and officials has been one of sorrow and solidarity. "Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the tragic loss of innocent lives and the injuries sustained by several others in Saturday's senseless act of violence," Round Rock PD Chief Allen Banks was quoted in a KXAN article. As the investigation continues, authorities have circulated a description of the suspect: a Black man, approximately 19-20 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, with a thin build and short dreads, last seen wearing a white hoodie.

In a show of support for the bereaved, IDEA Public Schools, confirming Duke was an employee, released a statement mourning her loss, indicating counselors would be available for students to provide emotional support. Details shared by KXAN describe Duke as a valued team member whose presence will be greatly missed.

The authorities encourage any with information or video evidence of the incident to come forward. Round Rock Police have provided contact details for Detective Maio and also request the public to upload evidence to their website. In line with efforts to aid the investigation, ATF is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. Details on the offer and how to submit information can be found in the reporting by FOX 10 Phoenix.
