Lowen Alberto Ordonez Lobo, 39, was shot and killed at The Villas Del Sol apartments in the 1700 block of Rutland Drive in North Austin on the evening of April 28, 2024. Officers arrived after reports of gunfire around 8:37 p.m.; emergency responders attempted life-saving measures but Lobo was pronounced dead at the scene about 8:49 p.m.

APD’s Homicide Unit, working with the U.S. Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, identified and arrested three people in connection with what investigators say was a murder-for-hire plot. Arrests reported in May 2024 include 22-year-old Jairo Enrique Velasquez-Lopez, alleged getaway driver; 20-year-old Giovany Perdomo, also known as Pero, alleged shooter; and 32-year-old Nixon Marquez-Martinez, accused of hiring them. Court documents allege Marquez-Martinez offered payment for the killing; all three were booked into the Travis County Jail on charges related to the homicide.

This was Austin’s 18th homicide investigation of 2024. Does anyone have information about Lobo, the apartment complex, or the events that night?
