Two adult men threatened a juvenile with weapons near Secret Beach in Roy Guerrero Park on July 30, 2026, before making off with a cellphone, fishing pole, tackle box and other fishing gear, according to investigators. Austin police say they have identified one of the two suspects, but the second man remains at large months later.
According to KXAN Austin, the aggravated robbery happened at about 10:15 a.m. near Secret Beach, close to 400 Grove Blvd., a popular swimming spot along Roy Guerrero Park on the city's east side. Investigators say the juvenile victim was confronted by the pair before the men threatened him with weapons and fled with his belongings, including his phone and fishing equipment.
Who Police Are Looking For
The Austin Police Department has identified one of the two suspects involved, but is still searching for the second man, per the station's report. That unidentified suspect is described as a light-skinned Hispanic man between 17 and 22 years old, standing roughly 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall with a thin build, dark curly hair and a mustache.
Investigators say he was last seen wearing a black Ramones T-shirt and carrying a tan Champion backpack. He also has a rifle tattoo on his upper right arm and may have another tattoo on his right hand, per the same account.
