Austin Sixth Street Crime

Travis County District Attorney José Garza said he will not seek charges or convene a grand jury for the three Austin officers who fatally shot the attacker after he opened fire outside Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden on Sixth Street just before 2 a.m., an attack in which sources say the 53‑year‑old suspect circled the block, fired from his SUV, then exited with a rifle, killing three and wounding 14. The FBI is investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism after finding “indicators” on the gunman — identified by multiple sources as Ndiaga Diagne, a Senegal‑born naturalized U.S. citizen reported to have worn clothing reading “Property of Allah” and an undershirt with an Iranian flag and whose residence yielded an Iranian flag and photos of Iranian leaders — and a separate lawsuit alleges he assaulted a Tesla employee in December, a claim local authorities reviewed and closed after his death while the FBI has interviewed the alleged victim.
