Christian Meroney, 32, was shot dead on July 9, 2018, outside his apartment at the Post South Lamar in Austin. He was found about 10 feet from his door. Meroney’s family and friends remembered him as kind-hearted, connected to the OrangeBloods Community and a fan of University of Texas sports.

The shooting was part of a series of attacks by Charles Curry, a former Texas Capitol staffer who lived six doors down and was charged in Meroney’s death and in shootings that wounded two other people. Curry was later found not guilty by reason of insanity; the court determined he had schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, and he was committed to a maximum-security mental health facility.

The case drew attention because of Curry’s prior hospitalizations for mental health concerns. Meroney’s family expressed gratitude to the Austin Police Department, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and first responders for their support.

Did anyone in the community know Christian or have information about the events that night?
