Austin police are still investigating the death of a 19-year-old at an Austin home.
Austin Police Chief Brian Krueger said Tuesday morning that more information is likely to be available Wednesday.
The home, located at 800 10th Ave. NW, was taped off Thursday and Friday and several people were being questioned by police relating to the investigation to the death of Ardis Keith Parker, who died early Thursday morning at Austin Medical Center.
Parker, a resident of Austin, was taken by an unnamed person to AMC early Thursday morning. Parker was alive when he arrived at the hospital.
Austin Police Department was called to AMC at around 12:05 a.m. Sept. 2 in response to the death.
Krueger would not say Friday whether or not Parker lived at the home under investigation.
“I have no further comment at this time,” Krueger said Friday morning.
The home has been taped off since early Thursday morning, when the investigation began. No one is currently in the home, aside from two pit bulls in the basement, Krueger said.
The BCA will be at the home today to process the scene.
Krueger said the investigation is expected to be completed at some point next week.
