The brutal murder of four teen girls in 1991 shook Austin to its core. Now, families — and the city — can finally move forward.

After more than a decade without leads, Austin police say they believe they have identified the man responsible for the yogurt shop murders of 1991 that left four Austin teens dead.

Following weeks of tension, an "insulting" offer from the city and some social media drama, the city and the union have an agreement.

The 1991 murder of four girls has long remained unsolved.

The district said it is retooling how it communicates with parents after last week's "failure."

Both suspects face a second-degree felony assault charge after an attack on Barton Springs swimmers in late July.

Smith was in a relationship with Brandon Thompson, the man who allegedly first shot her and then a police officer near Zilker Park. Thompson was charged with murder Wednesday.

APD and the Austin ISD police admitted "failure" in their communication after the shooting Wednesday morning.

Police say they're looking into why the alert was prematurely canceled Wednesday morning.
