A Caldwell County deputy died after a shooting in North Austin early Sunday morning, according to police.
According to the Austin Police Department, officers responded to Club Rodeo at 9515 North Lamar Blvd. just after 2 a.m. Sunday in response to reports that an officer from another agency had been shot.
Police found the injured man, later identified as a deputy with the Caldwell County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office, in the parking lot. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
In a social media post, the Caldwell County Constable’s Office said the deputy was working an off-duty security position at an Austin business when he was shot. The deputy’s identity has not been released.
Videos circulating on social media show what users describe as an injured officer lying on the ground outside Club Rodeo, a nightclub at 9515 N. Lamar Blvd. near the intersection of North Lamar and Rundberg Lane, before being transported by emergency crews.
Austin police said investigators believe the deputy was shot by an unknown suspect who is not in custody. They are asking anyone who may have been at Club Rodeo at the time, as well as anyone with photos or videos of the moments before, during or after the shooting, to contact the homicide tip line at 512-477-3588 or fill out the department’s evidence submission form.
