AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin Police Department is looking for a group of people allegedly involved in an aggravated assault at a Chevron gas station.
On Saturday, Feb. 21, APD responded to the Chevron located at 30 N. Interstate 35 on the southbound service road. Upon arrival, officers learned a woman, suspect one, had entered the gas station looking for a restroom. When a Chevron employee explained the bathroom was out of order, the woman walked into the office and urinated on the floor, police said. After she was asked to leave, the woman walked out to a maroon Dodge Charger.
APD said shortly thereafter, a man, suspect two, entered the Chevron with a rifle, followed by suspect one. The man reportedly pointed the weapon at the clerk before smashing merchandise, as the woman berated the clerk.
After throwing the rifle at the clerk, the man walked around the counter, picked it back up and struck the employee numerous times in the head with it. Suspect two then smashed a computer before leaving the store, only to return again seconds later to continue smashing merchandise.
There were two other men, suspects three and four, with suspects one and two, according to police. The group fled the scene in the maroon Charger, believed by police to be a model year 2014 to 2016.
