AUSTIN, Texas — Two people were killed after a homicide took place in South Austin Saturday morning.

The Austin Police Department stated Saturday afternoon that at around 11:30 a.m., they responded to a check welfare call at the Cannon Ridge Homes at 6715 Windrift Way.

After being let into the residence by a family member, officers discovered a man and a woman, both in their 40s, dead at the scene.

No one is in custody at this time.

The investigation is ongoing and is still in its early stages. Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Police believe this to be an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the public. This is Austin’s 8th homicide of 2026.

Because of the threat of inclement weather, Texas softball will only play one game Saturday at the Bevo Classic.

The No. 2 Longhorns (7-1) are now scheduled to face Ohio State at 5 p.m. at McCombs Field, officials announced on the Texas social media platforms. The teams had been scheduled to play Ohio State at 2:30 p.m. and Syracuse at 7:30 p.m.

Texas beat Ohio State Friday 14-6 behind two home runs from record-setting catcher Reese Atwood, who became the Longhorns’ all-time leader in home runs in a 11-0 win Thursday over Abilene Christian. The team followed that victory against the Buckeyes with a 14-0 rout over Syracuse in the second game of Friday’s double-header.

The Longhorns, who have won four consecutive games by the eight-run, five-inning mercy rule, will complete the Bevo Classic at noon Sunday against Northern Illinois.

The Austin Firefighters Association continued its public relations battle against the city over a denied workers compensation claim on Friday.

Earlier this week, the union sent out a blistering press release condemning the city for denying the workers compensation claim of Lieutenant Suzanne LaFollette, who is fighting stage-four ovarian cancer that she and the union believe is related to her work as a firefighter.

The union sent out a press release that accused an attorney working for the city of making it clear “he had no interest in the science of [LaFollette]’s cancer claim and the matter was set for an April contested case hearing before an administrative law judge.”

The statement states that LaFollette and the union are “disappointed but not surprised” and thanked Austin City Council Member Paige Ellis for adding her support.

The statement quotes Ellis, who said, “All Austin firefighters and their families deserve nothing less than the city’s full commitment to preserving their health and stability in a time of great need. If the federal government can act on this so can we.”

AFA President David Girouard said, “Austin firefighters are grateful to the citizens and members of the City Council who have reached out to support Suzanne as she fights for her life, and fights the city’s third-party workers compensation attorney.”

He continued, “We find the facts and the science indisputable. I’m confident that with the council’s support and when all the evidence is considered that Lt. LaFollete’s nearly two decades of service to Austin will be ruled the occupational cause of her cancer diagnosis.”

The press release also quoted an attorney for LaFollette who said the case “has met and exceeded the legal standard” required for her cancer to be recognized as a result of her work as an Austin firefighter.
