Austin reels with the echo of gunfire after a Sunday night incident left three people wounded at a local outdoor market. According to CBS Austin, the shooting occurred near the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in the parking lot of the 812 Outdoor Market on FM812. Authorities responded to the chaotic scene just before 9 p.m., where they found the injured individuals.
On the heels of the violence, the Travis County Sheriff's Office has made headway in the case. With an arrest made on Monday, Felipe Rodriguez-Saucedo, 55, has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, sitting behind bars at the Travis County Jail. While this suspect lies under the weight of a 2nd-degree felony charge, another is yet cast in the shadow of the law—a warrant remains outstanding for the capture of 30-year-old Luis Felipe Saucedo-Rojas, as reported by FOX 7 Austin.
All three victims of the harrowing market shooting were rushed to hospital, carrying with them wounds from an incident that has yet to fully yield its dark narrative. As per FOX 7 Austin, their conditions range from non-life-threatening to one individual who is reportedly "fighting to stay alive."
The law enforcement's dragnet widens in the search for Saucedo-Rojas. With the community's help urged by the authorities, anyone with information on his whereabouts or the incident can reach out anonymously through the TCSO Tip Line or contact Crime Stoppers, as stated by CBS Austin.
