LAWRENCE PERSON: Updates On The Murder Of Andrew Wimsatt.Here’s the high level summary of corrections:

In the original post, I said Andrew was a CHL/LTC holder who “likely would have survived his assault had he been carrying that day.”

The early reports I was relying on didn’t make clear that he was sitting on a park bench when his assailant snuck up behind him and stabbed him in the neck.* I had the impression he was still walking when the attack occurred. Obviously, in such a situation Andrew wouldn’t have had time to draw his weapon to stave off the attack.

I originally wrote that Benedict Ogbodiegwu, Andrew’s alleged attacker, “does not appear to have been released on bail for previous offenses in Travis County.” This may technically be true, but I didn’t think to search the Williamson County judicial database, where it shows he has had one felony and multiple misdemeanors dismissed.

But evidence has emerged that his attacker wasn’t just known as a crime risk, but a mental health risk as well.
