AUSTIN (KXAN) -- A 20-year-old man is dead and his body was found off Burton Drive and East Oltorf Street in southeast Austin late Wednesday night, according to the Austin Police Department. According to police, the man was identified as Keshawn Ramonce Cage. APD said Cage was pronounced dead just before 11 p.m. Wednesday after he was found with "obvious trauma to the head" in a public area of the street. According to APD, there was no suspect currently in custody. Police responded to the area after a caller said there was gunfire and someone had been shot. "The investigation showed that an unidentified suspect shot Cage. The investigation is in the early stages and the motive for the shooting is unknown at this time," APD said.
