On February 1, 2024, at about 12:02 a.m., Austin Police responded to gunfire at the Super 8 Motel, 4200 South Interstate Highway 35. Officers heard shots and found 41-year-old Rahsaan Dobbins, nude and armed, having just shot a man on the motel grounds. Dobbins complied with commands and was taken into custody. The victim was identified as 45-year-old Warnero Devoron Young of Seguin, Texas; Emergency Medical Services attempted life-saving measures but Young was pronounced dead at the scene.

Preliminary investigation says Dobbins was in a state of paranoia when he opened his motel room door and fatally shot Young, who was on the motel stairs; Dobbins told authorities he did not know Young. Dobbins was booked into the Travis County Jail on a charge of first-degree felony murder. Young, born February 24, 1978, in Humboldt, Tennessee, was a 1999 Seguin High School graduate and a U.S. Army veteran who served as an Automated Logistical Specialist. He is remembered by family and friends for his humility, quick wit, and willingness to help others; a community GoFundMe was set up to assist with funeral expenses.

Does anyone have information about Young’s movements that night or about the events at the motel?
