Lyndsey Captain Vicknair, 33, was killed on June 15, 2024, during a Juneteenth celebration at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, Texas, when an altercation between two groups escalated into gunfire around 10:50 p.m. Vicknair and 54-year-old educator Ara Duke were struck by stray bullets and pronounced dead at the scene; fourteen others were injured. Vicknair, a Manor resident, was an attorney, mother of three — Kenzi (7), Kairo (4), and Kya (1) — a member of the Austin Bar Association and co-founder of the Austin Black Lawyers Association. Her husband is Kevin.

The Round Rock Police Department opened an intensive investigation and has made some arrests: on June 20 a 17-year-old, Ricky Thompson III of Manor, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was described as involved in the initial altercation but not the sole shooter; on July 6 an 18-year-old, Keshawn Dixon, was arrested in Killeen and charged with third-degree felony deadly conduct. Authorities say more arrests and charges are expected. A GoFundMe for funeral expenses and support for the family was created, and the governor announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction.

If anyone has information about that night, please come forward.
