LAWRENCE PERSON: My Friend Was Murdered On Labor Day. “Andrew Wimsatt, a friend for over thirty-five years, a regular member of the Saturday Dining Conspiracy (and the movie night afterwards) and an all-around standup guy, was murdered on Labor Day.”
More:
I looked into whether some of the themes covered by this blog applied to Andrew’s murder, but as far as I can tell Ogbodiegwu was not an illegal alien and does not appear to have been released on bail for previous offenses in Travis County.
Even more, from another old online acquaintance:
Andrew was my friend. My heart is broken and I’m full of rage. He did not deserve to die like this. Fuck that piece of shit and everyone responsible for Andrew’s murder. FUCK THEM https://t.co/saEoTlp2QA

“Based on preliminary evidence and information developed so far, investigators believe the attack was a random act and that the victim and suspect were not known to one another,” according to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office.
UPDATE: He was a friend of David Burge, too. It seems like everyone in and around Austin knew and liked Andrew.
I am very saddened to learn that my friend @ajwimsatt was incomprehensibly murdered Monday. He was a gentle and generous soul, a frequent contributor to Dave's Car ID Service, and a big supporter of my son's music. He will be greatly missed.https://t.co/iAf4XZcv0A
