Austin police say they don't believe the incident is connected to a recent deadly shooting at the same apartment complex.

AUSTIN, Texas — Police are investigating after a body was found with "obvious signs of trauma" in southeast Austin.

According to Austin police, officers were called out to a disturbance at the Array Apartments on Burton Drive around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

When they arrived, police found a man in the parking lot and began performing life-saving measures. However, the man was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.

Police described the victim as a Hispanic man in his 20s and said that they believe they have detained "everyone involved in the incident." Police are working to determine if the man lived at the apartment complex, but added that there's no threat to the public.

Anyone with information on Wednesday's incident is asked to contact the APD Homicide Unit Tip Line at 512-974-TIPS or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.

According to police, the people detained in Wednesday's incident are fully cooperating.
