## Resource

Austin city council members are demanding answers after police fatally shot a 17-year-old boy in a tragic incident that began with a false 911 call — the teen’s own phone reported an armed person, but the “gun” was actually a water bottle. Three officers are on paid administrative leave as both a criminal investigation and internal review unfold. Council members, deeply saddened by the loss, are calling for full transparency, accountability, and urgent reforms — including better mental health resources and clearer de-escalation protocols. One council member, after reviewing body camera footage, said he has more questions than answers and is pushing for an independent investigation and swift release of evidence. The teen’s name has not yet been released. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available — call or text 988.
