Austin police to provide updates on March 1 mass shooting investigation

April 10, 2026

Austin police say they will provide an update on their investigation into the March 1 mass shooting in the next couple of weeks. Chief Lisa Davis made the announcement on Thursday as the department continues to process evidence and review leads.

The March 1 incident resulted in three deaths, one of them the person identified as the shooter, and left 15 people injured. Officers and investigators have been working since the scene was cleared, collecting statements and examining forensic material to piece together a full timeline.

Chief Davis did not detail what specific findings will be released, but she indicated authorities are aiming to share new information soon. Investigators typically balance the need for transparency with the requirement to keep some details confidential while active lines of inquiry remain open.

Police officials have been coordinating with other units within the department as they follow forensic leads and interview witnesses. That work includes analyzing ballistic evidence, reviewing surveillance where available, and corroborating witness accounts to establish what occurred before, during, and after the shooting.

Community leaders and survivors have called for answers since the attack, and police updates could address outstanding questions about motive, the sequence of events, and any potential public safety implications. Families of those affected have also been awaiting information that could help in recovery and any legal proceedings.

Investigators declined to attach a firm deadline to every aspect of the probe, but Chief Davis set an expectation that more details will be shared in the coming weeks. Police officials said they remain committed to completing a thorough investigation and providing the community with factual information as it becomes available.
