So is it confirmed the suspects are illegals?

I hope their prison stay is highly uncomfortable.

Yet another case of Democrats putting their need for illegals over the safety of American citizens.

I hope these young men get to spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison. People like this have no place in civil society.

Just please read Solzhenitsyn. It's all in there. This is not an accident or incompetence.

This is intentional.

I will be willing to be that whatever sh**hole country they came from they were ushered out as they were already known to be criminally insane young people. These countries literally shipped us their worst, very purposely, and at the request of the Biden/Harris administration.

Worst screw job in American history.

The last chart should read 'illegal' immigration but you get the point.

If anyone is following the details behind this, Flock recently put out a statement using the shooting as a Sales Point.

"Manor is a city of roughly 20,000 residents with a fraction of Austin's resources. What Manor has is an active license plate recognition network and the community support to keep it running. Manor PD located the suspects almost immediately. The spree ended. Residents stayed safe."

The statement was issued because BOLO's issued by Austin PD were unsuccessful, and Manor which still has flock caught them. Austin scraped the flock system last year btw.

Honestly names like dominion, and flock give me bad vibes. I can't deny that the system has merit, but at the end of the day the world isn't a safe place, and I don't want someone with the ability to share my daily driving habits with companies that want to sell me stuff...or in the event of actual government tyranny track me anywhere I go.

"Tried as adults?" I'd be fine with them being executed as adults. A day or two for a trial. A day or two for an appeal. Then put the vermin down.

100% the victim and the family think Trump is a fascist and vote blue like most of Austin...meh on this story

From the flock article

In 2021, Denver had 96 homicides. The police department mapped the specific blocks driving most of the violence and concentrated resources there: more officers, better lighting, license plate readers. By 2025, homicides had fallen to 37, the lowest in over a decade, and the largest drop of any major American city. Yet, on March 31, 2026, all 110 license plate readers were decommissioned after the city council declined to extend Flock's contract over concerns that data could reach federal immigration authorities. Now the numbers have started moving the other way. "In the last probably 10 days, we've had six homicides, I believe," Police Chief Ron Thomas said in an
interview
21 days later. "We're 50% above where we were this same time last year."

Showing yet again that Democrats care more about illegal immigrants than americans dying, especially black americans.

no one cares about your driving habits I can assure you.

Austin got rid of their flock cameras for the same reason many municipalities have disabled shot spotter technology. It disproportionately affects minorities.

Your safety is less important than protecting minorities from being arrested.

The progressive mindset is since minorities get arrested more often they need to be protected from law enforcement, instead of protecting innocent ppl from their crimes.

A tale of two cities with and without Flock over the weekend in Texas:

"Austin had Flock and then turned it off.  And as a consequence, they were not able to find these guys."

"These guys drove into some adjacent town up against Austin. And Flock was live in that town, and so… https://t.co/LFPWjsvv3e pic.twitter.com/pQCaEpfLNC
