On the evening of April 20, 2025, at about 9:30 p.m., officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire at a parking garage at 2604 Aldrich Street in Austin, Texas. Two men were found with apparent gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene: Kendrick Parker, 32, and Shamar Roach, 24. The incident is described as stemming from a child custody dispute between two groups that escalated into a physical confrontation.

According to the investigation, a male suspect on scene fired shots, fatally wounding Parker and Roach. Witness interviews led detectives to a suspect vehicle; that vehicle was stopped later the same night by Manor Police and the driver, 26-year-old Darius Sebastian Hatcher, was taken into custody for questioning. An arrest warrant charging Hatcher with Capital Murder of Multiple Persons was issued on May 12, 2025, and he was located two days later with assistance from the Texas Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. Authorities say there are no outstanding suspects and the investigation remains ongoing.

Residents of the Aldrich 51 Apartments have expressed concern about security at the complex following the killings. If anyone witnessed the altercation or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, contact the Austin Police Department or submit an anonymous tip to Capital Area Crime Stoppers.
