Austin police said in 2017 that Lockett had been driving his car near Parmer Lane and Dessau Road in Northeast Austin before he encountered Jaimes. APD said that there was a crash between the vehicles that started the incident.
Police say Lockett followed Jaimes into a nearby CVS parking lot and at that point, Jaimes got out and shot Lockett before driving off. Before Lockett was killed, he had taken a picture of Jaimes' license plate and a photo of Jaimes pointing his finger.

Police say Jaimes fled to Mexico and a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was later found and extradited to the U.S. in January 2023.
