Devon Gross, an 18-year-old from Austin, Texas, was shot and killed on June 27, 2018, at a Valero gas station on Pond Springs Road. He was in a car with friends when another vehicle pulled up and began shooting; efforts to revive him failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man was wounded; his injuries were not life-threatening.

The Austin Police Department identified a suspect as 25-year-old Stanley Pates, and he was later arrested and charged with murder. Police said they believe Devon was targeted but provided no further details about a motive. The shooting was listed as Austin’s 18th murder of 2018. Family members remembered Devon as kind and hardworking, and the community held a vigil near the gas station to honor him.

Does anyone have information about Devon’s last movements that could help clarify why he might have been targeted?
