Austin police responded to a call of shots fired on Carmen Court late March, later finding Blaylock with obvious trauma throughout his body. Austin-Travis County EMS medics arrived to perform resuscitation efforts, but Blaylock was pronounced dead after his arrival at University Medical Center Brackenridge.

An autopsy by the Travis County Medical Examiners office subsequently determined Blaylock died from gunshot wounds, ruling the death a homicide. Police noted at the time the victim knew at least one of his attackers.
