On January 7, 2024, at about 4:46 a.m., two men were found fatally shot outside Cowboys, a digital game room at 9411 Parkfield Drive in North Austin. Officers responding to multiple 911 calls discovered 35-year-old security guard Deondre Flint and 46-year-old patron Jamie Davis unresponsive with gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene. A woman also suffered non-life-threatening gunshot injuries and was taken to a hospital.

According to the investigation, Davis and his girlfriend were asked to leave the business. As they exited, security staff accompanied them into the parking lot after a dispute between Davis’s girlfriend and a female employee escalated into a confrontation between Davis and security. During that confrontation, Davis fatally shot Deondre Flint. Another security guard then shot and killed Davis. The security employee who shot Davis cooperated with investigators, and the Travis County District Attorney’s Office later concluded the shooting was justified and filed no charges. The Austin Police Department is asking anyone with further information to come forward.
