Giancarlo Arman Perez, a 22-year-old Hispanic male, was shot and killed on January 21, 2021, in the 6900 block of Sunfield Parkway in Buda, Texas. He was found with a gunshot wound, transported to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Authorities say the altercation began as a rivalry between two dance groups, and the shooting was streamed live on Instagram.

Four people were charged in connection with the killing, including 17-year-old Jason Oliver Martinez and three juveniles from Austin. The Hays County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by its Criminal Investigations Division and the Repeat Offender Program, detained the juveniles and arrested Martinez; the juveniles were processed into the Hays County Juvenile Detention Center and Martinez was held without bond. Investigators conducted numerous witness interviews in Hays County and Austin and asked the public for information.

If anyone knew Giancarlo, saw activity in the Sunfield Parkway area that day, or has information about the rivalry between the dance groups, please share what is known.
