"At this point in time anyone that can come forward that can help us develop leads is encouraged to contact us. I don't have any specific information as to what we're looking for but anyone that was in the area, that might have information is always encouraged to contact us," said officer Michael Bullock.
Austin 9-1-1 received multiple calls regarding shots fired with callers stating it was a drive-by shooting and one person had been shot, says APD. Police and EMS units arrived on scene and found Jaimes with life-threatening injuries. He was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 11:54 p.m.
Homicide detectives spoke with witnesses and learned that the incident was the result of an ongoing feud between known subjects. Jaimes was only visiting the address, says APD, and may not have been the intended target.
