AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin Police Department is searching for at least three suspects related to a shooting and robbery that wounded a man and a woman Sunday morning.

The shooting happened around 6 a.m. on March 13 in the 9700 block of North Lamar Boulevard. That's just north of West Rundberg Lane.

APD said officers responded to the area and found a man with several gunshot wounds lying outside his vehicle. He was taken to the hospital. A woman who was shot in the hand was also found, police said.

Officers and investigators found surveillance video and spoke to witnesses about what happened.

There was an "altercation," and the man was shot multiple times and robbed of his jewelry, police said. The suspects then fled the scene in their cars.
