Father killed by teen son in East Travis County: TCSO
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas - A 19-year-old has been arrested for murder in the shooting death of his father in East Travis County.
On Sunday, just after 9:30 p.m., the Travis County Sheriff's Office says it received multiple 911 calls about a disturbance and shots fired near a bus stop on Hog Eye Road.
When deputies arrived, they found 61-year-old Duan Davis, of Austin, dead.
His son, 19-year-old Quentyn Ervin-Davis, has now been charged with his murder.
A search warrant was executed in the overnight hours at the home of Daun Davis, a resident of the Community First! neighborhood, as part of the investigation.

Court paperwork says Duan was found with gunshot wounds near a bus stop in the village.
Witnesses say two people fled in a black SUV.
Deputies pulled over the SUV at the intersection of Elfen Cove and Elfen Way and found Quentyn and a pregnant woman, who lived with the suspect and his mother, with blood on their hands.
Quentyn told deputies the family had a baby shower for the woman the day before, and Duan was upset that Quentyn's friends had been disrespectful to Quentyn's stepfather.
According to the affidavit, on March 24, Duan asked Quentyn to take him to the store, and they kept arguing about the same thing.
Quentyn was going to leave the car at Duan's place, so he got his stuff out, including his mother's gun, but accidentally took the keys, too.
Quentyn told investigators Duan came running with a broom, and there was a fight. He said Duan told the woman she'd "lose her baby", caused her to fall, and stood next to her holding the broom.
The affidavit says Quentyn says he shot his father and eventually Quentyn and the woman went to drive to Quentyn's mother's home.
The paperwork says surveillance video showed a slightly different story.
The detective writes she saw Duan on video coming with something in his hands.
The woman yells, "you better put that damn broom down."
Duan says, "where are my damn keys?"
The woman grabbed the broom and the two began to struggle.
Quentyn told Duan, "hit her if you want to." The woman said, "try me."
Quentyn says, "I'm going to shoot him."
The woman tells Duan, "you aren't going to hit him, you aren't going to hit me" and "I'm going to dot him in his eye."
They keep struggling with the broom, and Duan yanked it and turned, causing the woman to fall. She says "you're going to make me lose my baby."
Quentyn fires two shots at Duan and then three more towards Duan's back, causing him to collapse.
