Damarcio V White, a 20-year-old African American man, was found shot to death at his apartment in the Reserve at Springdale Apartments in East Austin on March 5, 2018. Officers responded to a reported shooting just after 6:00 a.m. and discovered his body inside the unit. Family members described him as a gentle giant and a teddy bear who had hoped to play college football and left behind a seven-month-old daughter.

According to the family, a physical altercation had occurred about 48 hours before the killing; they say the person who lost that fight returned with a firearm to seek revenge. The Austin Police Department stated the victim was targeted, not the victim of a random act. Investigators later identified and arrested a suspect; that person pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Does anyone have information about Damarcio’s final days or the earlier altercation that could help clarify what happened?
