Michael Ray Satterwhite Jr was 29 and a father of three when he was shot and killed in Austin on April 28, 2022. Family remembered him as “Mike Mike,” generous and non-violent; his grandfather Willie Jones described a close, friendly bond. At about 12:54 p.m. police received multiple 911 reports of shots in a south alley in the 400 block of East Sixth Street. Officers and EMS found Satterwhite with severe trauma; he was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:08 p.m.

The Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound and ruled the manner homicide. Homicide detectives, using witness interviews and video, tied the shooting to a 2008 red convertible Ford Mustang seen fleeing and linked it to another fatal shooting about 10 minutes earlier near East 12th Street and Webberville Road; police believed both incidents were retaliation for an earlier robbery. A suspect, Eric Deon Rollins, was arrested by the Lonestar Fugitive Task Force and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Was anyone in Austin that afternoon aware of activity around East Sixth or East 12th that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
