APD asks public to submit photos, videos of Lit Lounge shooting
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Police Department’s Aggravated Assault Unit detectives on Wednesday requested the public to submit any photos or videos it may have in connection with a shooting at the Lit Lounge that happened on March 30 around 1 a.m.
APD said officers responded to the shooting, located near Sixth and Brazos Streets, and when arriving on the scene, they found four individuals with gunshot wounds who confirmed they were shot inside the nightclub.
“The first officer on scene applied pressure to the wound, and within a minute, the rescue task force was there to apply a chest seal and then pressure to the entrance wound,” said APD during a media briefing. “That’s when we got multiple more calls saying that there were more victims inside a club on Sixth Street.”
Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact APD’s Aggravated Assault Unit at 512-974-5245. You may submit your tip anonymously through the Capital Area Crime Stoppers Program by visiting austincrimestoppers.org or calling 512-472-8477.
APD said a reward of up to $1,000 may be available for any information that leads to an arrest.
