On November 22, 2023, at about 12:37 p.m., Austin Police officers responded to a disturbance at Deer Run Drive and Blue Dawn Trail in southeast Austin and found 17-year-old Alexander Jaimes with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his injuries. Investigators say the shooting followed a verbal dispute between Jaimes and a female known to him that turned physical and ended when the suspect shot him.

No arrests have been announced and the suspect’s identity has not been released. APD’s Homicide Unit says there is no ongoing threat to the community and is asking anyone with information to contact investigators or submit anonymous tips through Capital Area Crime Stoppers; a reward up to $1,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest. Family and friends remembered Jaimes as respectful and warm-hearted; funeral services were held December 1 and 2, 2023, at Harrell Funeral Homes, with burial at Assumption Cemetery.

Does anyone have information about this case or saw anything that afternoon at Deer Run Drive and Blue Dawn Trail?
