On the evening of August 22, 2024, at about 8:35 p.m., officers responded to a shooting in the 6300 block of Thurgood Avenue in East Austin and found 13-year-old Jeremiah Bobby Cavazos with an apparent gunshot wound. Despite medical attention, Cavazos was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:55 p.m.

Investigators say Cavazos and another juvenile, described as Juvenile #2, arrived in a stolen vehicle to meet a third juvenile, Juvenile #1. That meeting escalated when Cavazos and Juvenile #2 attempted to rob Juvenile #1, prompting an exchange of gunfire among the three. Cavazos was struck, re-entered the vehicle, and was ejected onto the pavement when Juvenile #2 tried to drive away. Juvenile #1 fled on foot. Police later apprehended both juveniles; Juvenile #2 was charged with capital murder and Juvenile #1 with first-degree murder. The Austin Police Department has asked for tips and noted a reward of up to $1,000 through Capital Area Crime Stoppers.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw activity on Thurgood Avenue that evening or who can help clarify what led to this encounter?
