66-year-old Jeffrey Gable was found bleeding October 6th at a CapMetro bus stop in North Austin. Authorities arrived, and found Grable..with apparent trauma to his body. Channel 7 in Austin says Grable was pronounced dead at the scene about 15 minutes later.

Police were checking surveillance cameras to find more information about the alleged assailant, a black male in his 30s.

Grable was one of those featured in the Jacksonville Journal Courier in August of last year who were camping at Lake Jacksonville. He was part of a group that moved away from the Strawn Art Gallery where they had been staying. He said at the time they preferred staying near the lake.
