At approximately 3:26 a.m., Austin police responded to another 911 call regarding a second shooting near the intersection where the first shooting occurred.
The caller met with police and said they were in their house when they heard about six gunshots, with one entering the window and embedding into the house itself, according to police.
The caller said roughly three minutes after the gunshots, they saw a white Camaro drive past their house and park in a driveway nearby and a man named Dan Rea, 23, exited the car, according to the affidavit.
Police were able to positively identify Rea as the suspect after running the plates on the Camaro and putting him in a lineup where the driver from the first shooting recognized him, police said.
Rea is currently being held by Austin police on a $50,000 bond for deadly conduct discharge firearm at individuals.
