AUSTIN, Texas – A man was charged with murder in connection to a deadly East Austin shooting last week, police said.

This is the Austin Police Department’s 20th homicide of the year.

What we know:

Police said on April 10, around 8:40 p.m., officers responded to a call of a shooting at the Cabana Club at 5012 East 7th Street. 

When officers arrived, they found a victim, Richard Barr, with gunshot wounds to his body. He died from his injuries. 

The investigation showed there had been a fight in the parking lot outside the club that escalated into the suspect, 21-year-old Ryan Lara, shooting Barr in the back. 

Barr had been moving away and across the parking lot from Lara when he was shot. Police said Lara had also shot two other people in the group. They were taken to a local hospital for their injuries. One victim remains in critical condition while the other victim was released.

AUSTIN, Texas – We will be on storm watch tonight. 

Local perspective:

More of the same today with a cloud/sun mix, warm, humid and breezy conditions. 

Highs heading for the 80s with wind gusts of 15 to 25 mph.

The backstory:

The West Texas dryline will be the storm machine. This is where the Gulf moisture meets up with dry air coming off the mountains. 

As the two different air masses collide the air will be forced up. 

The heating of the day and upper low will provide even stronger lift to generate numerous and more intense storms in West Texas. 

There is a chance a few of the storms will survive their journey away from the dryline and reach the Hill Country starting this evening and overnight. 

By the time they enter Central Texas, most of the storms will drop below severe limits. 

The highest threat of severe weather remains west of the Hill Country.

What’s next:

Could we get redevelopment with the storms late on Wednesday? 

The jury is still out because not all the models agree, so we will have to play the wait and see game. 

The next game-changers will be a stronger Western Low and a cold front with bite to it entering the picture this weekend. 

Expecting increasing rain chances on Saturday followed by a cooler and drier breeze the rest of the weekend.
