Aristeo Campos-Cuellar, 63, was shot after arriving at an apartment complex in the 700 block of West William Cannon Drive in south Austin on May 5, 2024. Austin Police officers and Austin-Travis County EMS responded; Campos-Cuellar was taken to a hospital but died of his wounds. APD initially classified the incident as the city’s 20th homicide of the year.

Investigators say cell phone data and witness statements later linked 32-year-old Christopher Benard Hervey to the shooting. On June 5, 2024, police charged Hervey with murder. The motive has not been disclosed. The shooting was one of two at separate Austin apartment complexes the same day; APD continued to seek additional information and witnesses as the investigation proceeded.

If anyone knew Campos-Cuellar, saw him that day, or has information about the events at West William Cannon Drive, please come forward to investigators.
