Police were waiting to file capital murder charges against a suspected drunken driver who plowed through a crowd of South by Southwest festival-goers early Thursday morning in downtown Austin before they identify him.
Police Chief Art Acevedo said the man will face two charges of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault.
Police also clarified who was killed in the incident. One of the dead, a man from the Netherlands, was riding a bicycle near the intersection of 11th and Red River streets when struck. The other, an Austin woman on a moped, also was killed. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. More
