Matthew Jarrett Lee, a 30-year-old African American man from Austin, Texas, was shot and killed on September 23, 2019. He was found with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of Galewood Gardens Apartments in North Austin and was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 1 a.m. after a good Samaritan attempted life-saving measures.

Police identified 26-year-old Emilio Ortiz as the shooter. Ortiz fled in a stolen van, crashed it into a North Austin hotel, then struggled with a vehicle owner and a neighbor while attempting to steal another car; he was ultimately apprehended. An unidentified Hispanic woman, about 25, was seen with Ortiz that night and investigators sought information about her.

Ortiz was charged with first-degree murder, later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 25 years in state prison. Does anyone have information about the woman seen with Ortiz or witnessed the events at Galewood Gardens that night?
