He was murdered but he and his brother were at Nebraska. Not sure it was at a camp or recruiting trip. Most articles show he and his brother inside Hawks.
Was he being recruited by Nebraska?

If I've got the right story, just saw a tx judge reduced his bond and is home under house arrest since he's such a fine young man
It will be interesting how long it will take for this Fine young man to do something like this again. Because it will happen
I read the prosecution is now in possession of a video taken by another student that shows the incident in its entirety. Allegedly it will invalidate the self defense claims, but the prosecution is taking the death sentence off the table. Interesting and sad at the same time.
It was never self defense to me when he brought a knife to a school event.
Now let me duck from my peers.
I think I first heard this last week or the week before on newsmax. At that time witnesses were saying it wasn't self defense
I would move my family behind this tbh.
It's pretty racialized down here in North Texas over this.
Not even for that reason.
Even the original story the kid told does not justify deadly force in self defense. And the eye witness accounts make it look even less so.
I don't think anyone with a modicum of understanding of self defense/deadly force law actually thinks this is a valid self defense case.
The family representative said they did not know each other.
They still are charging him with murder. If the video didn't show that they would probably drop the charges.
Whatever the case the murderer raised a ton of defense donation money. And the family was living in a rented home worth $800 K so they couldn't have been too poor.
Maybe he could have just let the kid stay under his tent to avoid the rain
Or the kid could have not brought a knife to track meet running his mouth cause he knew he had a weapon
If this was a safe space for black people all of a sudden Austin wouldn't belong in that place.
I don't want people from other schools in my tent either.
Raining or not. Go to your schools tent. We are competing.
Why would you have someone representing you that was accused of abusing a 2 year old child.
I smell grift.

Kid was wrong to be carrying a weapon.
Other kid was wrong (IMO) for not being a decent person and letting someone get out of the rain. Do unto others and all that.
And before you accuse me, I’m not saying anyone deserved to get stabbed.
the tents in question are where people store their personal belongings.
there have been reports, not saying its 100% accurate as its not yet confirmed, that the kid was moving tent to tent rifling through people's personal belongings.

I'd like to hear more on the 2015 "offensive physical contact" bit. Not because I'm mad at him, but because it sounds like there's a hilarious story there.
A world where anyone, and there are many, can try to justify this, shows there is too much tolerance of crime.

No it's wrong to stab someone for kicking you out of their tent you had no business being in.
I heard Austin's dad went to the suspects press conference. They told him to leave so he stabbed them in the heart. Self defense right?
