Police are hunting for Montpelier's first murderer in almost a century.
A state employee and former professional basketball player has been shot dead outside an apartment complex in the nation's smallest capital city.
An arrest warrant was issued for Jayveon Caballero on a murder charge following the Sunday morning shooting in Montpelier, Vermont. Police were seeking Caballero in the killing of Markus Austin, whose body was found in the apartment complex's parking lot.
WCAX reports Austin was an employee at the Vermont Department of Mental Health and a former Vermont Frost Heaves professional basketball player. The now disbanded team went to the ABA championship with Austin.
A GoFundMe has been set up fro Austin's familiy.

The Demographics for this city are 93.7% White, 1% Black and 2.1% Hispanic. It has safe neighborhoods, good schools, no food deserts and this is the first murder in 100 years. Basically, a crack dealer killed a basketball player over a woman who was disrespected. I'll have to put on my Sherlock Holmes hat for this one, because I can't figure out how it happened.
Hmmmm. Jayveon Caballero...3.1% of the population and he has both covered(black/hispanic).
Well it was bound to happen sometime. That was a pretty good 100 year run though.
It’s a great model for a scientific study on violent crime- we could use it to figure out how to make cities that have no murders in 100 years or more. We can all put on our thinking caps and I’ll need a slide-rule. How are you with an abacus?
I wonder what potential names were rejected?
I’m pretty sure that the name Vermont Projectile Vomitings was rejected out of hand. .
Been a long time since I’ve seen an abacus.
Most of the time when I want to predict something I break out the Monkey Bones.
very sad.
Nice area. I stayed in a tent campground in the 90’s near Montpelier.
Prayers for the family and hope justice is served.
