Philip Patrick Foley II, a 40-year-old White man, was fatally shot outside the South Austin nightclub where he worked in the early morning of September 9, 2023. The shooting occurred about 2:24 a.m. at the Red Rose Cabaret on the 3600 block of South Congress Avenue.

According to authorities, the incident followed a disturbance inside the club involving 41-year-old Elliott García, who allegedly assaulted a waitress and was asked to leave. García waited outside for a ride; Foley, a staff member, came outside and spoke with him. Investigators say the conversation agitated García, who then pulled out a handgun and shot Foley. Foley was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

García fled on foot but was located and detained nearby by responding officers. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and booked into the Travis County Jail on a $300,000 bond; he was formally indicted for murder on December 2, 2023.

Did anyone see the events outside the Red Rose Cabaret that night or have information about the people involved?
