The Austin Police Department (APD) Homicide Unit is seeking the community's assistance in solving the murder of 27-year-old D’Andre Isaiah Day. Mr. Day was found deceased on September 4, 2022, at the corner of 6th and Brazos streets. Detectives have determined that Mr. Day was involved in a disturbance near the intersection of 7th and Colorado streets, where he sustained fatal injuries.
Three persons of interest and a vehicle have been captured on video, along with three potential witnesses. These videos are available on APD’s Official YouTube Channel. Despite exhaustive efforts, detectives have not identified a motive for the killing but believe it to be an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the public.
Detectives are requesting public assistance in identifying witnesses and persons of interest shown in surveillance footage previously released. They are also seeking information about a silver 2003-2005 Honda Accord believed to be connected to the case.
Anyone with information or video related to this incident is urged to contact APD Homicide at 512-974-TIPS or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 512-472-8477 (TIPS).

Homicide detectives and Crime Scene Specialists determined that Mr. Day had been involved in an altercation with three unidentified men when one of them stabbed him during what appeared to be a random street encounter.
