Austin police have made no arrests in connection with the killing of a man in East Austin, the law enforcement agency said at a news conference last week.

Authorities arrived at the 6300 block of Thurgood Avenue after 8:30 p.m. Thursday and found a man with one gunshot wound to his chest, said officer Jeremy Fisher, a spokesperson for the Austin Police Department.

Life-saving measures were unsuccessful, and the man was pronounced dead at the scene, Fisher said.

At the time of the news conference, police had not identified the shooter and were interviewing multiple witnesses, Fisher said. Police believe the shooting was an isolated incident, he said.
