Tijarious White, 19, was fatally shot on July 16, 2023, inside the Valero gas station at 1135 Airport Boulevard in East Austin. Police say an unidentified suspect entered the store around 9:04 p.m. and shot White; despite immediate medical attention, White died at the scene. Witnesses reported multiple people involved in a gun battle, but investigators believe White was specifically targeted and that the attack was not random.

The suspect is described as a tall Black male with a heavy build. Austin Police released surveillance images and footage and asked the public to call the department’s tip line or Crime Stoppers, offering up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active. A memorial page has been created for White.

If anyone has information about the shooting or recognizes the person in the released images, please contact APD or Crime Stoppers.
