Man possibly shot, killed before crashing truck into Lady Bird Lake, APD says
Austin police say a man was pulled from a truck that went off the road into Lady Bird Lake, and he appeared to have gunshot wounds.
Shell casings found at the shooting scene matched those found at other unsolved "shots-fired" incidents and an aggravated robbery last November and December.
Police tracked down witnesses through surveillance video, vehicle tracking, and social media searches.
They arrested 18-year-old Joel Santiago Gonzalez-Paron on Jan. 26 for two aggravated robberies.
After more interviews, detectives learned about frequent arguments and fights between the two groups at the shooting. Moreno, who was shot while several vehicles fled during the gunfire, was not the intended target.
Gonzalez-Paron was charged with Moreno's murder.
