According to APD, around 11:15 p.m. March 10, first responders arrived at The Revl Apartments related to a 3-month-old infant who was not breathing.
APD said life-saving measures were performed, and the infant was taken to an area hospital for further evaluation and treatment; however, the infant later died March 15.
This case is being investigated as Austin's 12th homicide of 2024.
