Austin Police Department issued the following announcement on Dec. 2.
The APD Aggravated Assault Unit is seeking the public’s assistance with two incidents that occurred Thanksgiving Day. The first incident occurred at approximately 4:20 p.m. when two Hispanic males in a white 4-door sedan shot at a 30-year-old Hispanic male victim, while he was driving in the area of 2400 Montopolis Dr. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries after he and his vehicle were both struck by bullets.
The second incident occurred almost two hours later, at approximately 6:10 p.m. in the 6200 block of Clovis St. Two construction workers were working on two different houses when they were shot at by the driver of a light-colored 4-door sedan. The vehicle fled in an unknown direction and no injuries were reported.
Based on the descriptions of the suspects, nature of the incidents and their locations, these incidents may be related. At this time, we do not have any surveillance videos or photos to share.
