Austin Police Department

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

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.

Police said the officer who was shot is in stable condition. A woman who was also shot is not expected to survive, Chief Lisa Davis said.

The study from Texas State University done in partnership with the Austin Police Department found neither direct evidence nor indirect warning signs of a serial murderer.

The Austin Police Department has not confirmed if the victims were employees of the bar or if fentanyl was involved. Toxicology testing will determine what caused the overdoses.

Adam Chow, along with his 4-year-old granddaughter Astrid Fung, and Rosa Martinez Machuca were killed in what police have described as a "random attack."

Austin police spent nearly double their allotted budget for overtime last year. The fire department spent more than anticipated, too. That could change in the new budget.

APD is asking the public for information about an attack over the weekend of a trans woman and someone who was injured trying to defend her.

The city's made big leaps in hiring at its 911 call center, but police staffing issues continue to hamper response times.
