What we know:

Round Rock police say that 26-year-old Taylor Longshaw of Austin was shot multiple times at around 5:30 p.m. Nov. 13 outside the TwoRooted Salon at 403 West Main Street.

Despite life-saving measures, Longshaw died at the scene.

The suspect was identified as 27-year-old Selena Eubank of Carrollton. She had fled the scene before officers arrived.

Eubank was later found near the 500 block of West Liberty Avenue, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Residents react

What they’re saying:

There was nothing on Friday morning to indicate a murder-suicide had taken place the night before near the historic downtown district.

Juliana Martinez, who works at a small business in the area, spoke to FOX 7 Austin about the shooting.

“It’s very surprising because it’s very quiet here, so it’s very different to see that there was a shooting not too far from our office,” Martinez said. 

“It doesn’t matter if they knew each other or not shooting guns, there’s children there’s a daycare right here,” Martinez added.

Keon Ferguson is a customer of the TwoRooted Salon where Longshaw worked and had been there just hours before the shooting.

“My heart goes out to all the young ladies there,” Ferguson told FOX 7 Austin. “I love all those girls, even as I left out of there yesterday, love y’all. we have that kind of relationship and it’s heartbreaking. That’s all I can tell you, sir.”

“Confused, empty, hurt, you know, just wondering what they are going through, they’re like a family, those girls. they’re like sisters. None of them are sisters, but they’re like nieces to me young businesswomen trying to make it in a nice area, which is what Round Rock is right?” continued Ferguson.
