AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin Police Department is seeking the public's help in locating a suspect accused of shooting two people in an apparent road rage incident on West William Cannon Drive and West Highway 290 on Wednesday.
Police responded to a shots-fired call around 8:10 p.m. on the 6400 block of W. William Cannon. On scene, they found two victims with gunshot wounds in a red Kia.
They reported that the driver of a white truck was driving erratically and cut the victims off as they traveled west on Highway 290 before turning right onto William Cannon from the turn lane. As the victims turned, the suspect also turned right from a westbound lane, striking the driver's side of their car.
