In the early morning hours of September 16, 2024, the Austin County Sheriff’s Office received a distressing call about a 20-year-old male found unconscious and not breathing near the 15000 block of FM 1094. Medics and deputies were quickly dispatched to the scene, where a relative was performing CPR on the individual.
Upon arrival, deputies took over the life-saving efforts, but they were soon terminated as the man was already deceased. Initial reports suggest that the victim may have been crushed or run over by a vehicle, although further investigation is needed.
The Austin County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the man’s death. An autopsy has been ordered by the Justice of the Peace to determine the exact cause. Officials stress that there is no immediate danger to the community and no cause for concern about further violence.
