AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- Austin Police say they've arrested a juvenile male in connection with a deadly shooting late Thursday night in south Austin.

Officers responded to the 1700 block of Teri Road just before 10:45 p.m. Thursday night, after a 911 caller reported hearing "eight to nine shots fired" near a building.


Witnesses told officers about a victim with a gunshot wound to the chest. That victim, identified as 22-year old Darion Dupree, was pronounced deceased on the scene.

Investigators, after speaking with witnesses, found that Dupree had been arguing with another individual before being shot by a male juvenile suspect. That juvenile was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Anyone with information on the case is urged to call APD at 512-974-8477, or Capital Area Crime Stoppers at 512-472-8477.

It's the city's 21st homicide of the year, and the sixth homicide investigation to be opened in 10 days.
