🚨NO WHITE SUPREMACISTS INVOLVED🚨
🚨NO ISLAMIC JIHADISTS INVOLVED🚨
This reminds of a Austin serial killer survivor who shared his story of being drugged at a bar in Downtown Austin. He was found under a bridge with a broken back. There have been a number of drownings at Lady Bird Lake that police say are unrelated. I think there was another incident involving a man being drugged at a bar in Downtown Austin. Only he was found dead on the shore of Lady Bird Lake. I remember watching a documentary speculating there may possibly be an Austin serial killer. It is kind of fishy there have been many deaths surrounding this Lady Bird Lake. Austin police keep brushing off the notion there could possibly be a serial killer in the area.
It would be great if the Austin police did a sting operation at the bars in Downtown Austin hunting the person spiking people's drinks. Or even offered a reward for any evidence leading to the arrest of the person spiking people's drinks. People being drug against their will has already happened several times at bars in Downtown Austin and this time it was a mass casualty event that could have ended up worse than it did.

AUSTIN, Texas - The Austin Police Department is investigating possible overdoses at a downtown Austin bar.
One man died, and several others were hospitalized, police said.
What we know: APD says the incident happened at the Buckshot Bar in the 500 block of East 6th Street at around 3 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 2. A caller reported to police that multiple people were overdosing.
Officers arrived and found multiple people needing medical attention.
Narcan was administered to five people. Four were hospitalized, and one person refused transport.
One of the people hospitalized was later pronounced dead just after 4:30 a.m. They have been identified by police as 32-year-old Christopher Lee Davis.
What's next: Police are conducting interviews with those hospitalized to determine what exactly happened.
The TABC is also trying to determine if anyone in the bar was involved in the incident by reviewing security camera video.
This is an open and ongoing investigation.
Local perspective: Stephen Tucker, who has lived on the streets of Austin, learned about the incident when he spoke to some friends. He said he has first-hand experience of the dangers on 6th Street.
"It's just, it's nightlife down here in Austin you know, it's so it doesn't really surprise me," said Stephen Tucker.
An increase in police patrols is something Tucker would like to see. Especially in the back alleys and along Waller Creek where Tucker said he would meet a drug dealer.
"It kind of surprises me that there would be five overdoses in one place at one time. That is that's very surprising, because when we had that spice epidemic or whatever a couple of years ago, and we had all those fentanyl overdoses with the crack cocaine. That was real, that hit home, because, like I said, I'm a recovered addict. And one of those people could have been me, if I'd have still been doing drugs," said Tucker.
What is Nitazene?
Dig deeper: According to the most recent data from Austin Public Health, in 2024, paramedics were called to 1,102 overdose cases. Between January and July of this year, there were almost 500 cases.
The Buckshot Bar case comes as a warning is being issued about a synthetic opioid called Nitazene. Drug dealers are switching to it in response to the crackdown on fentanyl. Nitazene is more powerful than fentanyl, and at times, can be resistant to Narcan.
On Tuesday, Grey McCallister, who is from League City outside of Houston, appeared in a FOX News report about the overdose crisis. She spoke about how a pill laced with Nitazene killed her son last month.
"I'm just one person, right? And trying to spread awareness about something like this, as you mentioned, you know, DEA, federal law enforcement, they've spent a lot of effort on one pill can kill and, you know, raising awareness about fentanyl and Nitazenes isn't even anyone's vernacular," said McCallister.
According to an article posted in May by the UT Medical Branch, Nitazene can be used in liquids, pills, and powder form. It's estimated up to 2,000 people may have died from Nitazene since 2019.
FOX 7 was told there have been two drug deaths linked to Nitazene this year. That number may increase as lab results come into the Travis County Medical Examiners Office on new cases, like the Buckshot Bar mass overdose.
