On October 30, 2020, Jose Francisco Galeano Antunez, a 38-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed outside his home in North Austin, Texas. According to the police account, two men in a maroon sedan approached Antunez and his friends offering to sell drugs; after being declined they drove off and then returned minutes later to attempt a robbery. Antunez was shot during the ensuing altercation and later pronounced dead at the scene despite medics’ efforts.

The Austin Police Department described the attack as random and identified two suspects: a 6 feet tall, thin Black male wearing a wine-colored sweatshirt, and a 5 feet 7 inches, heavy-set Black male with a light skin tone wearing a white or light-colored short sleeve shirt. A $1,000 reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. On November 9, 2020, Richard Speed, 18, was arrested and charged with capital murder; a juvenile alleged to be the second suspect remained at large. The medical examiner conducted an autopsy and investigators continued seeking tips and video evidence.

Did anyone in North Austin see that maroon sedan or either of the two men on October 30, 2020?
