Se Hun Park, 56, was fatally shot while working the front desk at a Budget Inn in Austin on May 8, 2026. The shooting followed what has been described as an apparent argument with a man later identified as his assailant. Park was taken to a hospital but died six days after the attack.

Police used a license plate reader to locate the suspect’s vehicle two days after the fatal shooting. Cibolo officers arrested 24-year-old Sean Walton of Burnet on the 700 block of Cibolo Valley Drive; he was booked into the Guadalupe County Jail on a murder charge in connection with Park’s death. Walton also faces multiple unrelated charges in Travis, Burnet and Guadalupe counties, and a judge set combined bond at $1,332,000.

Anyone who knew Se Hun Park, who worked at the Budget Inn, or who saw activity near that motel on May 8, 2026, is asked to share information that might help the investigation.
