AUSTIN, Texas — The Office of the Governor’s Public Safety Office is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the person or persons involved in the shooting that killed two and injured fourteen others during a Juneteenth celebration at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock on Saturday.
“Cecilia and I are deeply saddened by the horrific tragedy this past weekend that took the lives of two innocent Texans and injured fourteen other victims at a Juneteenth celebration in Round Rock,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “Texas is deploying our full support to local law enforcement to ensure those involved in this heinous crime are found and brought to justice. I encourage Texans with information relating to this crime to call the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline or submit an anonymous tip online. With your help, we will capture these criminals and put them behind bars.”
According to Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks, a fight broke out between two groups during a concert at a Juneteenth event and someone started shooting.
The two victims who were pronounced dead at the scene were not involved in the argument, Allen said. The Round Rock Police Department identified the people who were killed as 33-year-old Lyndsey Vicknair, from Manor, and 54-year-old Aa Duke, from Pflugerville.
In addition to the state reward, Williamson County Crime Stoppers is offering $5,000 and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is offering $5,000, bringing the total reward amount up to $20,000.
To be eligible for the cash rewards, tipsters must provide information to authorities using one of the following methods:
- Call the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477)
- Submit a tip online through the Texas Department of Public Safety
All tips are anonymous regardless of how they are submitted, and tipsters will be provided a tip number instead of using a name. Callers’ anonymity is guaranteed by law, and you could earn up to the $20,000. Fugitives should be considered armed and dangerous. Texans should never try to apprehend a fugitive.
