Upon their arrival, police found a mortally injured man believed to be in his 20s with significant trauma throughout his body.

It's unclear if the victim's wounds were gunshot or knife injuries. The man was rushed to St. David's South Austin Medical Center for treatment of life-threatening injuries, but he died shortly after his arrival.

Although they have no suspect in custody, police assured there was no threat to the public at large. This verbiage is typically employed when police believe a violent interaction is strictly between a suspect and victim.
