AUSTIN (KXAN) — An argument between two groups of teens on East Sixth Street escalated to a shooting that killed one person and injured 13 others June 12, an arrest affidavit from the Austin Police Department said.

APD says Jeremiah Roshaun Leeland James Tabb, 17, pulled a gun from his waistband and he and his “crew” walked by another group of people, exchanged words with them and then started shooting.

The affidavit says as the group Tabb was in walked by the other group, Tabb said, “What y’all wanna do? Y’all wanna fight?” A minor from the other group replied with, “it’s whatever,” and then the affidavit says that’s when Tabb pulled out his gun and started shooting.

The same minor said Tabb shot him in the leg a few days before in Killeen, the affidavit said. A police report from Killeen police supported the minor’s claim that Tabb was the primary suspect in that shooting, as well.

Another minor police interviewed said the group immediately starting running away and heard gunshots behind him.

Multiple people confirmed to investigators that not only Tabb had a gun, but another juvenile did as well, the affidavit said. Tabb and the other juvenile each showed their weapons after the brief verbal exchange before the gunfire began, the affidavit said.

Eight shell casings, believed to be from the same gun, were found by investigators on the sidewalk outside a bar in the area of the shooting, the affidavit said.

The shooting killed 25-year-old Douglas Kantor, who was visiting Austin, and injured 13 others. One of the 13 who were injured, identified by family members to KXAN as Jessica Ramirez, was fighting for her life in the hospital after being shot. Family members said she needed back surgery because of her injuries.

Tabb was the second person arrested in connection with the shooting. Police arrested the first person, only identified as a minor, June 13. Tabb is currently charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and according to jail records, he is in custody at the Travis County Jail.

Attorney information for Tabb was not immediately available, but once it becomes available, KXAN will ask for a comment.

I guess we know why they didn't want to release a description...doesn't fit the narrative.

Very true, black people don’t do mass shootings,, I wonder if they added drive by shootings in their equation if they would be on the news more. BLM should be outraged one of their own did such a terrible thing

Help is on the way. The local TV reported that Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston just call a summit on crime prevention. Works for me. You?

This wasn't your typical mass shooting, this was 2 guys that had a target, but apparently were poor shots, and hit a lot of innocence people. From the news reports one can't tell if any of the targets were actually shot.

IMO, the foundational belief of the Democrat party is that all people are good and would otherwise be safe and successful if it were not for outside influences. In the eyes of Democrat leaders, accountability should never be placed on the individual but on something that enabled them. I prefer to call it the party of rainbows and unicorns.

That train left the station many moons ago. This isnt the party of JFK. Its more sinister these days. Evil if you will
