Someone knows something. There is no way some person came, murdered him on a whim. Who did he have a beef with? I bet his family has an idea but aren't able to prove it. This is just horrible.

Austin Lee Winn, a 26‑year‑old White male from Tecumseh, Oklahoma who worked as a livestock and horse transporter, was found fatally shot on the morning of Mother’s Day, May 12, 2024. Deputies discovered him between about 9 and 11 a.m. lying outside his parked 18‑wheeler on the 10,000–10,400 block of West I‑20 after he had returned from a haul in Midland, Texas. He was pronounced dead at the scene and the death was classified as a homicide.

Family and media reports say Winn had been familiar with the route, had texted his mother that morning and spoke with his girlfriend around 10:30 a.m. He was described as planning to be home for dinner. Authorities pursued leads that included reports of a dark-colored Dodge single-cab dually pickup seen near the shooting and appealed to the public for tips; Midland Crime Stoppers offered a reward that was increased to $7,000 by early 2025. No arrests had been announced and no suspect publicly identified as of May 2025.

Does anyone who drove I‑20 that morning or who lives near the 10,000 block of West I‑20 remember seeing a dark-colored single-cab dually pickup or anything unusual around 9 to 11 a.m. on May 12, 2024?
