Austin police now say that a total of 15 people were injured during the deadly East Sixth Street shooting early Saturday and have identified one of the shooters as a 15-year-old.
The juvenile was arrested Saturday and charged with deadly conduct. He was taken to Gardner-Bettes Juvenile Detention Facility.
Authorities on Monday arrested a second suspect, 17-year-old Jeremiah Roshawn Leland James Tabb, while he was attending summer school in Killeen, police have said. Tabb is charged with aggravated assault with serious bodily injury.
In an affidavit released Wednesday, police said Tabb had shot and injured another teen days earlier in Killeen. The East Sixth Street shooting began after Tabb and a group of people encountered the Killeen shooting victim and others outside Mooseknuckle Pub, the document says.
