Comarri Thompson, 18, a Black male, was killed in a drive-by shooting in North Austin in the pre-dawn hours of July 19, 2025. Shortly after 2 a.m., officers responding to a frantic 911 call found two people shot and a young woman crying for help at the intersection of East Braker Lane and Dessau Road. Thompson was pronounced dead at the scene; the woman, identified as his girlfriend, survived her injuries.

Police said rounds came from another vehicle that sped away, leaving shattered glass and shell casings. Detectives canvassed for surveillance and witnesses and worked the scene at 804 East Braker Lane to establish a timeline. Within days investigators obtained a murder warrant and the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force arrested 25-year-old Kenan Greene in East Austin on July 29, 2025; he was booked into the Travis County Jail on a murder charge in connection with the shooting.

Anyone who witnessed the July 19 shooting at East Braker Lane and Dessau Road or has surveillance footage is asked to come forward with information.
