Suspect charged in his brother's homicide: Austin Police
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin Police said its officers arrested a man after a June 6 shooting at a north Austin residence, according to a press release.
APD also identified the victim as Warren Stewart, 36, in the release.
Tevin Stewart, 31, is charged with first-degree murder. He and Warren were brothers and both lived at the Halifax Drive residence, APD said.
KXAN reached out to Tevin’s attorney for his response to the charge.
According to an APD officer’s arrest affidavit, a 911 caller gave the address then said “please come” before hanging up.
The APD press release notes that Austin-Travis County EMS paramedics arrived at the scene around 10:28 p.m. on June 6. Tevin directed them to Warren, according to the affidavit.
“As paramedic began lifesaving measures, he discovered that the subject had been shot. At that time, Tevin claimed to [the other] paramedic … that the victim ‘went crazy’ and he had to shoot him,” the affidavit states.
The paramedics then called APD to the scene while continuing life-saving measures. At 11:09 p.m., responders pronounced Warren had died.
APD’s press release claims that Tevin allegedly told officers he had shot Warren.
