The Austin Police Department said Troy Lee Tanksley was taken into custody on July 14 in relation to an unrelated violent offense. Authorities later charged the teen with committing a mass shooting, a first-degree felony.
The shooting occurred at about 1 a.m. on Saturday, March 30, at the downtown bar Lit Lounge, according to police.
Officers responding to the scene found four victims with gunshot wounds. Under federal guidelines, a mass shooting is defined as an incident in which four or more people are shot.
