Police said they were called for a report of an attempted suicide involving a man waving a gun around erratically, but not necessarily pointing it at anyone. An officer shot and killed Jason Roque in alleged defense of the mother. In September 2021, Austin City Council approved $2.25 million to be paid as a settlement to the Roque's family.
