Lidia Carapia-Hernandez, a Hispanic woman in her late 50s, was fatally shot in her North Austin apartment on June 12, 2021. The shooting occurred in the 1900 block of West Rundberg Lane; she was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Austin police identified her son, Augustine Moreno, then 32, as the person at the scene. Investigators say Moreno allegedly shot his mother, tried to hide the gun under the couch, and was later taken into custody and charged with murder. Moreno was being held at the Travis County Jail while awaiting trial and was credited with 697 days already spent in custody according to court filings.

This was recorded as Austin’s 36th homicide of 2021. Any readers who knew Lidia, saw activity near West Rundberg Lane on June 12, 2021, or have video or other information that could help the investigation are asked to come forward.
