Richard Rosenberg, 59, of Austin, Texas, was shot and killed on November 12, 2015, at a storage facility on Matthews Lane in South Austin. The shooting followed a dispute with 18-year-old Darius Bailey of Austin. Police say Bailey had previously broken into Rosenberg’s apartment and stolen the son’s money, marijuana, and guns; Rosenberg then took Bailey’s motorcycle and stored it at the facility. On the day of the murder Bailey confronted Rosenberg at the storage unit, and investigators say Bailey shot him.

Rosenberg’s son, Ryan Rosenberg, found his father’s body, and security video reportedly shows Bailey leaving the scene on the motorcycle. An anonymous tip led to Bailey’s arrest in Bastrop County; he was charged with murder and held on $750,000 bond. Rosenberg’s friends and family remembered him as an old-school man who tried to settle matters directly while helping his son, who had drug-related troubles.

If anyone was at the Matthews Lane storage facility on November 12, 2015, or has information about the confrontation, please share what was seen or heard.
