Police said they are still actively working the case and have exhausted all their leads. There is still no motive for the killing, and this appeared to be an isolated incident.
Three new persons of interest and a vehicle were captured on video, and there are three potential witnesses.
Detectives said Day and his friend were riding a scooter in Downtown Austin, made it to 7th and Colorado Street, and came across three suspects.
"He didn’t know them personally," Austin police detective Jeffrey Rodriguez said in July 2023.
The men got into a verbal argument, and it then turned physical. In a video, Day is seen squaring up with the main suspect.
"Suspect goes towards him, backs up, and he pulls out a knife here in the frame," Detective Rodriguez said.
Police said Day started running away.
"Because the black male suspect with the knife ran towards his friend, D’Andre’s intention was to go and assist his friend from being stabbed," Detective Rodriguez said.
Detectives said Day was stabbed then he ran to 6th and Brazos Street for help, but ended up dying there.
