Jose Juan Vasquez, 28, was fatally shot in the parking lot of a Northeast Austin Walmart on November 24, 2021. The shooting happened around 10:39 p.m.; Vasquez was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas, where he died at 11:20 p.m. The Travis County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide due to gunshot wounds.

Austin Police released images of two suspects believed to be involved and said they fled in a black sedan, possibly a Ford. One suspect was described as a 34-year-old Black male, about 6 feet 1 inch with a large build, last seen in a white t-shirt and white shorts with Metal Night print and white Jordans. The second was described as a heavy-set 40-year-old Black male, about 5 feet 10 inches, wearing a black t-shirt, torn blue jean shorts, red/orange running shoes, and a black mask with white lettering. Detectives later obtained an arrest warrant for Ronald Leon Bryant, 42, and he was arrested on December 28, 2021, and held on $500,000 bond; he was charged with Vasquez’s murder.

Anyone who was at the Walmart that night or has information about the suspects or the black sedan is asked to come forward.
