Amy Lynn Warner was 51 when she was fatally shot in downtown Austin on August 27, 2020. The shooting happened about 12:30 a.m. near East 6th Street and Brazos Street, close to the Driskill Hotel, during a violent altercation between two groups of Hurricane Laura evacuees. Warner was an innocent bystander and was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead around 1 a.m.

Austin Police identified 21-year-old Linton Alexander as the shooter within a day, saying surveillance footage and witness statements placed him at the scene. He was arrested and charged with murder, a first-degree felony, and bond was set at $500,000. Warner was described by friends as homeless but kind and generous, someone who looked out for others despite difficult circumstances.

Detectives sought additional tips and worked with authorities in Port Arthur and Beaumont, where the evacuee groups originated. Does anyone have information about Warner’s last movements that could help investigators or memories to share about her life?
