The car did not need to drive where the protestors were ......... premeditated murder could be alledged.
In a video posted to social media taken by journalist Hiram Gilberto, multiple gunshots could be heard at what appeared to be the same intersection where the incident happened.
KVUE spoke with witnesses who were at the scene of the incident when it occurred. Haven Trahan, who said he's been part of the groups protesting in Austin since the demonstrations first started, said a car was trying to get through to Congress Avenue as the crowd marched down that road.
"And that’s when this car on Fourth Street decides that they can’t wait any longer or that they just want to mess with us, I don’t know which. And he floors it, turning right down the street at us," Trahan said.
Trahan said that is when Foster confronted the car, before the shooting happened.
"Garrett Foster died protecting us, not just the protestors, all of us. He was out here, day in and day out," Trahan said.
James Sasinowski, who goes by "Sass," also told KVUE a car drove aggressively toward the crowd, trying to turn onto Congress Avenue from Fourth Street. Sasinowski also said he believes he saw the shooting happen.
"And then I turn over and I see his arm just like, extended fully out of the driver's window with the handgun into the crowd.
And I watched him make several more shots. I saw the flashes," Sasinowski said.
