Police investigate slaying of 32-year-old man at Manor apartment complex
Police are investigating a shooting at a Manor apartment complex that killed a 32-year-old man, they said in a statement.
The Austin Police Department responded to multiple calls reporting a shooting at 8110 Blue Goose Road at 2:18 a.m. May 17. People inside the victim's car were among the callers, the news release said. The callers told police they had driven to a nearby Waffle House, at 8800 E. U.S. 290, with the shooting victim.
Law enforcement officers and Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services medics arrived at the restaurant and discovered that a passenger, identified as Eliud Cueva, in the back of the vehicle had been shot. He was taken to a hospital and was pronounced dead the next day at 5:36 p.m., the release said.
Detectives processed the scene, interviewed witnesses and determined that Cueva was in the back of a friend’s vehicle at the Alta Blue Goose apartment complex when a gunman fired into their vehicle. Cueva was struck by the gunfire, the statement said. The vehicle Cueva was in then left the complex and went to the Waffle House. Police did not say why the car went to the restaurant, nor did they specify whether the gunman had been identified or arrested.
