AUSTIN, Texas – A homicide investigation is underway after an altercation between two people escalated into a deadly shooting in North Austin.

The owner of Michelobos, a business in the area, said that the incident began as an altercation between two women.
At some point, the altercation escalated to a shooting between two men.
“His friend was not trying to let him get the gun at first, but then he just snatched it out of his homeboy’s hand and that’s when everything happened,” the man said.
The man is seen in the video with his arm extended, gun in hand, walking towards another man.
