Gunshots shattered the quiet of a southeast Travis County parking lot early Friday morning, leaving a man dead and sparking a manhunt for the shooter. The Travis County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) raced to a disturbance call at around 12:25 a.m., at a business on the 5600 block of S. Hwy 183, near Annalise Dr., CBS Austin reported.

Deputies found the victim, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, dead upon their arrival at the scene. Witnesses told deputies they saw the suspect speeding away, heading northbound on Hwy 183 in a white truck. TCSO believes the violent act was an isolated event, claiming there is not an ongoing threat to the community, according to the KVUE report.

The identity of the man, who was hastily found deceased, remains unconfirmed as officials wait for the Travis County Medical Examiner to make an identification and notify his next of kin. As detectives continue working to untangle the night's events, they urge anyone with information to come forward and reach out to the TCSO Tip Line or Crime Stoppers.

Detectives have been pursuing leads throughout the night, after scouring the area for evidence and following up on witness accounts. As part of the investigation, authorities are calling on anyone who might have information regarding the suspect's whereabouts or other details pertinent to the case to contact them. The sheriff's office expressed their commitment to unraveling this tragedy, saying they believe this to be an isolated incident, which is far from posing a continued threat to the well-being of the community, as obtained by CBS Austin.

The search for the suspect, who has thrown a peaceful business district into the limelight for all the wrong reasons, continues. TCSO is determined to provide justice for the victim and restore tranquility to the area. Anyone with information about the shooting or the suspect's escape path is encouraged to call the TCSO Tip Line at 512-854-1444 or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.
