AUSTIN, TX — Austin police are searching for a suspect involved in a shooting Sunday afternoon that left one man dead at a North Austin hotel. Police said officers received a 9-1-1 call around 11:36 a.m. Sunday on report of a man who was shot inside a room at the WoodSpring Suites Austin on 11105 N Interstate 35 Service Road. When officers arrived, they found 41-year-old Brandon Williams with gunshot wounds. Williams was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas where he later died from his injuries.
