Douglas John Kantor, 25, was visiting Austin from Michigan, where he was working for the Ford Motor Company as a product manager in the IT department.
Originally from Airmont, New York, Kantor had recently purchased his first home and was looking forward to marrying his high school sweetheart of 10 years, his family said in a statement.
According to a statement from Austin police, Kantor “succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital and was pronounced deceased on Sunday, June 13, 2021 at 12:01 p.m.”
The shooting took place just before 1:30 a.m. within the city’s Sixth Street entertainment district.
A single suspect has been detained for his alleged role in the shooting that wounded 13 other people, but has not been named. Police are searching for a second suspect in the shooting.
As of Monday morning, one of the injured victims remained hospitalized in critical condition.
The detained suspect’s age has not been released, but police have said he is not an adult.
Kantor’s brother, Nick Kantor,spoke to KXANabout the deadly shooting.
“He was shot through the abdomen just below the rib cage, straight through,” explained Nick Kantor. “He suffered from the time of the injury until the time of death. It was the most gruesome thing I could think to wish on someone. It’s painful to discuss, but I think the public deserves to know what my brother suffered.”
