APD looking for suspect in East Austin homicide

The Austin Police Department put out an alert on X that officers were on the scene of a homicide near Bowm District Park, which is located along Bowm Road near Highway 183. 40 minutes after that initial post, APD issued a redaction saying it wasn't a homicide but a death investigation, which is also the message delivered in the briefing on Wednesday night. This is being investigated as a death. This is not being investigated as a homicide at this time. We do apologize for the incorrect information that was sent out earlier in the tweet. Then on Thursday afternoon, the department put out a press release ruling it a homicide again. It all started when police say a Czech welfare urgent call for service came into dispatch around 5.45 that evening. This is a very common fishing area. A lot of people will find this place online saying it's a really good fishing area, so they'll come out here. And when somebody came out here today, they did locate the victim. The 911 caller led them to a parked truck near an embankment. Once officers arrived on scene, they located a victim with trauma. Austin Children's County EMS arrived a short time later and assessed the victim. Unfortunately, the victim was pronounced deceased at approximately 6.24 p.m. Inside that truck, police found 26-year-old Miner Garcia. Investigators say Garcia was fatally shot and left inside the vehicle before the suspects left the scene. Garcia was killed the day after his birthday. His death is now being investigated as Austin's 33rd homicide of the year.
