3 dead in Travis County shooting
Three people were found dead in a Travis County home, the sheriff's office said.
Dahan's previous criminal history in Travis County includes a state-jail felony possession charge in 2024 which the Travis County DA's office did not pursue, and a misdemeanor unlawful carry of a weapon which was dismissed last year.
The backstory:
The Travis County Sheriff's Office got a 911 call around 8:30 a.m. on May 7 from a relative requesting a welfare check when one of the three victims did not show up for work.
When deputies arrived at the home on Civorno Drive near Lake Pflugerville, they found three people dead inside from gunshot wounds.
A person of interest was identified, and their vehicle was found empty near Norwood Park Boulevard in North Austin, almost 17 miles away from the home.
The person was detained without incident near where the car was found at 11:45 a.m. with the help of US Marshals and Austin Police SWAT.
