AUSTIN, Texas — A second person — a 17-year-old — has been arrested in the mass shooting on Sixth Street that killed a tourist from New York and left 13 wounded, the Austin American-Statesman has confirmed.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, was taken into custody in Killeen. He is charged with aggravated assault as an adult under Texas law; another suspect arrested earlier is a juvenile.
Police officials and prosecutors Monday were still considering what additional charges both suspects will face, but officials have said the charges could include murder, attempted murder and aggravated assault. The investigation into who fired a gun — or whether both of them opened fire — is ongoing.
Investigators have not released a possible motive or described what may have prompted the gunfire that caught victims in the crossfire. Two people were critically wounded, including 25-year-old Doug Kantor, who died of his injuries. Family members say he had recently completed graduate school and was soon to be married.
