On October 15, 2016, 20-year-old Alexander Macias-Garcia, a Hispanic male, was found shot dead behind the wheel of a car on Wells Branch Parkway in northeast Austin. His oldest brother, who had been riding with him, was found wounded outside the vehicle. The brothers had been driving home after a night out when another vehicle followed them, forced a crash that stopped their car, and the occupants of that vehicle opened fire.

The Macias-Garcia family described Alexander as a happy soul who enjoyed spending time at home with his guitar and have asked anyone with information to come forward. The Austin Police Department continues to investigate the slaying as authorities seek to hold those responsible accountable.

If anyone saw the vehicles involved or has information about the shooting on Wells Branch Parkway, please share what you know with investigators.
