Conrado Guadalupe Contreras, a 60-year-old Army veteran and a Yellow Cab Austin driver for 15 years, was shot and killed on July 5, 2015, at the Omni Austin Hotel Downtown. Contreras was an innocent bystander in the hotel lobby early that morning when a man later identified as 35-year-old Michael Holt entered with a rifle and opened fire. Officer Carlos Lopez of the Austin Police Department shot and killed Holt at the scene.

Contreras was remembered by colleagues and friends for his kindness and commitment to helping others. The shooting prompted a police review, and no arrests or further legal actions were pursued because the shooter was killed at the scene.

Did anyone who knew Conrado or who was working at the hotel that morning see anything that could add to the record of what happened?
