Deadly shooting in Round Rock

FOX 7 Austin's Jessica Rivera has the latest on the investigation in an incident in which detectives believe the victim and the suspect knew each other.

Residents react

What they're saying:

There was nothing on Friday morning to indicate a murder-suicide had taken place the night before near the historic downtown district.

Juliana Martinez, who works at a small business in the area, spoke to FOX 7 Austin about the shooting.

"It’s very surprising because it’s very quiet here, so it’s very different to see that there was a shooting not too far from our office," Martinez said. 

"It doesn’t matter if they knew each other or not shooting guns, there’s children there’s a daycare right here," Martinez added.

Keon Ferguson is a customer of the TwoRooted Salon where Longshaw worked and had been there just hours before the shooting.

"My heart goes out to all the young ladies there," Ferguson told FOX 7 Austin. "I love all those girls, even as I left out of there yesterday, love y’all. we have that kind of relationship and it’s heartbreaking. That’s all I can tell you, sir."

"Confused, empty, hurt, you know, just wondering what they are going through, they’re like a family, those girls. they’re like sisters. None of them are sisters, but they’re like nieces to me young businesswomen trying to make it in a nice area, which is what Round Rock is right?" continued Ferguson.
