Michael Seibert, 41, was shot and killed in Austin on December 6, 2022. The shooting occurred in the 700 block of Mankato Drive near Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park. A 911 call came in about 4:52 p.m.; officers found Seibert with obvious signs of trauma and began life-saving efforts until EMS arrived. He was pronounced dead at 5:11 p.m. on the scene.

Police reported Seibert was shot by someone he knew and that others were in the home when the shooting occurred; one of those people placed the 911 call. No one else was injured, and authorities described the incident as isolated with no broader threat to the public. The death was initially treated as suspicious and later classified as a homicide.

An arrest was made on December 14, 2022, when 39-year-old Peter Lucio was taken into custody and charged in Seibert’s killing. Seibert’s obituary notes he was born February 17, 1981, worked in construction and as a handyman, and is survived by his daughters Emily and Alexis, parents Kenneth and Donna Seibert, sister Nichole, and nephew Gavin. Anyone with information about this case is asked to come forward.
