A crowd attacked and killed a passenger in a vehicle that had struck and injured a child, police said Wednesday.
Police believe 2,000 to 3,000 people were in the area for a Juneteenth celebration when the attack occurred Tuesday night. The man who was killed had been trying to stop the group from attacking the vehicle's driver when the crowd turned on him, authorities said.
The Austin Police Department identified the victim as David Rivas Morales, 40. The child was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police spokeswoman Toni Chovonetz said she had no further information, including how many people were involved.
The driver was able to get away is cooperating with investigators, police said.
Juneteenth marks the day Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston in 1865 to share news of the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves two years earlier on Jan. 1, 1863.
Austin is a Very Liberal City but the juries will not hesitate to find someone guilty and give them the harshest sentence possible when the crime is violent.
Aren't they the designated specialists in racially motivated crime?

From the Austin Police Department:
At approximately 9:31 p.m. Central East patrol officers responded to a person down call at 900 Thompson Street.

Immediately following the auto pedestrian, an assault occurred involving the driver of the vehicle that struck the child and Morales, who was a passenger in the vehicle.

That's not bad. In "gun control Canada" the city of Winnipeg (just across the border from me) with a pop. of about 500,000 is already at 26 murders, mostly black immigrants and Asians drug gang related
You’re probably right. I was just translating it into PC newsspeak.
Milwaukee celebrated Juneteenth day with some random car swarms as well. Vandalized the cars, dragged the drivers out and beat them. The drivers in Milwaukee didn’t even hit anyone — it was just “funnin’,” I guess
And the mob murders this guy?
Wow...
Austin is a Very Liberal City
Liberal?
If anything, the mob at this scene was downright savage. This sounds like Somalia, when things go bad.
These blacks better be careful. Hispanics are not consumed with angst and guilt over slavery like "whitey", the male of the species carries a Latino machismo which hates humiliation, and their numbers are increasing rapidly due to birth rates and the proximity of the US-Mexican border.
The Latino-ization of Texas is growing apace and messing with Hispanics would not be a smart course of action.
Our posts were a few seconds apart. We’re on the same wavelength.
I caught your joke the way you intended it. Good one, and yes - you’re ready for an MSNBC anchor position. ;-)
And I'd think it would be safe to assume you are wrong. The victim clearly has a 'brown' name, so it would be black on brown, not black on white.
This wouldn’t happen if we’d just let the Austin police kill these thugs.
So Morales tries to defend the driver as the driver leaves in his car? There are NO good guys in this sad story.
I think you're right. They're in acccord with Mexicans when it comes to portraying whites as racists, but the bottom line is that they see immigrants as competition for the largesse to be gained from the public treasury.
Strange bedfellows.
Don’t expect any enlightened action in Durham.
The prostitute who started it all is still walking the streets. She has filed false gang rape charges twice in her short life but has never been charged.
I wonder why.
In Texas Juneteenth is sometimes just referred to as “the teenth”. Everyone, black and white knows what that means.
