AUSTIN, Texas — Police have released more details about a deadly shooting at a North Austin apartment complex last month.
According to the Austin Police Department, officers responded to the Bridge at Granada apartments at 414 East Wonsley Drive at approximately 10:58 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 25.
Police arriving on the scene found a man, later identified as 20-year-old Xavier Jones Jr., with a gunshot wound inside an apartment. He died before he made it to a hospital.
Investigators believe multiple people had forced entry into the apartment by shooting the sliding glass door, shooting and killing Jones in the process. The people then stole jewelry from Jones before fleeing the scene, APD said.
Anyone with any information on the incident is asked to contact APD at 512-974-TIPS or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 512-472-8477 or by visiting austincrimestoppers.org. A reward of up to $1,000 may be available for any information that leads to an arrest.
This case is being investigated as Austin’s 65th homicide of 2024.
