On January 28, 2023, a shooting at Moon Palace Hookah Lounge on Research Boulevard in north Austin left several people wounded and, ultimately, two teenagers dead. Seventeen-year-old Brayden Bolyard was pronounced dead at the scene. Eighteen-year-old JaiTron Tatum was wounded that night and died of his injuries on February 1, 2023.

Both Tatum and Bolyard were students at Jarrell High School. Police later identified 19-year-old Christijan Deshaun Stevens as the primary suspect; authorities said Stevens had a prior history with one of the victims. Investigators arrested Stevens on March 8, 2023, and charged him with capital murder. The motive has not been publicly determined, and investigators asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew JaiTron, Brayden, or was at the lounge that night and can help with the investigation, please share what you know.
