On October 14, 2024, two people were found shot and unresponsive inside a vehicle at 1805 Burton Drive in southeast Austin. Officers pronounced 27-year-old Francis Kaina Anseume Corredor and 19-year-old Bryan Florentino Flores Alvarez dead at the scene. Surveillance from the apartment complex captured a silver Mitsubishi Outlander arriving just after 3:20 a.m.; footage shows the driver, identified as 31-year-old Sherles Machado-Hernandez, approach the victims’ vehicle and open the passenger door. Investigators say Machado-Hernandez fatally shot both victims and then fled in his vehicle. Anseume Corredor was the mother of three children, two of whom she shared with Machado-Hernandez. An Amber Alert was issued after the discovery because the children were initially unaccounted for; family later reported Machado-Hernandez had dropped the children with his brother before leaving in a different vehicle. The children were located safe and placed in the care of Child Protective Services. Machado-Hernandez was tracked to north Austin and taken into custody during a traffic stop in the 900 block of Fairfield Drive; he was booked into the Travis County Jail on charges of capital murder. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Austin Police tip line or submit a tip anonymously to the Capital Area Crime Stoppers Program.
