Police searching for suspects in connection with northeast Austin shooting that injured four

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Police Department is seeking community help to search for four suspects in connection with a shooting in June at a strip mall parking lot off Braker Lane.

Around 2:25 a.m., APD officers responded to the shooting at 900 East Braker lane. At least four people were injured after a fight escalated in the parking lot, APD said. 

“The shooting resulted in four victims suffering non-life-threatening gunshot wounds,” the department said.

This isn’t the first time a late-night crime like this has occurred in the strip mall parking lot on Braker Lane. In the fall, business owners told KXAN late night crowds — mostly underage individuals who were not visiting the businesses — contributed to these crimes.

The following are photos and descriptions of the possible suspects from Austin Police.
