AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Austin Police Department is searching for suspects who were allegedly involved in a break-in that resulted in a shooting at a southeast Austin apartment last week. APD responded to a shots fired call in the 5300 block of Jimmy Clay Drive shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 9. Police officers and Austin-Travis County EMS medics found a victim with a gunshot wound when they arrived on the scene. The victim was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to APD. APD said detectives learned through their investigation that a suspect had knocked on the victim's door Monday night, and a second suspect later broke into the apartment. As he entered, the victim fired several shots toward the second suspect, who was also armed and fired back, injuring the victim. That suspect then left the scene, possibly in a white car, APD said. APD released doorbell video footage from the incident. APD described the suspect as a Hispanic man. During the incident, he was wearing a hat, short sleeve t-shirt and pants. He has a distinct tattoo on his left elbow, pictured below.
