Travis County Sheriff’s Office issues warrants for two suspects Austin Weather

Travis County Sheriff’s Office obtained arrest warrants for James Mackeise Shearrion and Kevin Curtis Parrish after a double homicide outside Bare Cabaret in northeast Austin. Austin weather was not the story that changed Sunday; the warrants were.

Both suspects face murder of multiple persons, a capital felony. Deputies responded around 4 a.m. Sunday to the 9705 block of Reservoir Ct. after reports of a shooting and found approximately 400 people in the parking lot outside the club.

Shearrion is 19, and Parrish is 20. The warrants give law enforcement a named pair to search for in a case that began with a shooting outside a business advertised as open from midnight until 6 a.m. on weekends.

That detail puts the scene in context without changing the charge itself: the arrest warrants turn an early-morning shooting into a felony search for two identified suspects. For anyone who was there, the immediate practical step is to share information that could help locate them.

Layla Williamson and VT Wood

Travis County Sheriff’s Office released the identities of the two people who died on July 10 as Layla Williamson and VT Wood-Davion Olden Hornsby. The office’s naming of the victims gives the case its human center and ties the warrants to a fatal event, not just an arrest investigation.

Williamson and Hornsby died after the incident outside Bare Cabaret. The case also carries a complication that the warrants do not explain: two suspects have been named and charged, but the available facts do not lay out what led investigators to identify them.

Travis County Sheriff’s Office tip line

Authorities are asking anyone who knows the whereabouts of either suspect to call 911. Additional information can also be reported to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office tip line or Crime Stoppers.

That leaves the immediate next step with the public, not the court docket. The warrants identify the men, the victims are named, and the search now depends on whether someone with knowledge of the case gives investigators a location.
