On March 8, 2026 at approximately 7:00 P.M., Austin Police Department officers were dispatched to a residence in the 400 block of 8th Place NW in the City of Austin, County of Mower after a series of 911 hang ups. Dispatch advised that the caller called a fourth time, asked for law enforcement to respond, and then hung up again. Austin Police Department Officer Skyler Thomas arrived and spoke with Witness 1 (an adult male). Witness 1 said he was sitting outside by a fire with his wife, when AUBREY LEE USHERA, [DOB REDACTED], hereinafter the defendant, came down from his apartment and asked Witness 1 if he had left the beer bottles on the porch.
Witness 1 told the defendant he had not. Witness 1 said the defendant walked away, and Witness 1 heard a “commotion.” Witness 1 went to investigate the commotion and saw the defendant in Victim A’s (an adult male) apartment. Witness 1 grabbed the defendant around the waist and pulled him out of the apartment. Witness 1 said the defendant went upstairs to his apartment, got dressed, and returned. Witness 1 said the defendant stated he was going to “shank” Victim A, and Witness 1 told the defendant to “walk it off.” The defendant then walked to the corner of the block and sat down, however he was no longer there when officers arrived.
Austin Police Department Officer Gentry Sovers arrived on scene and spoke with Victim A. Victim A stated a male, later identified as the defendant, broke into his apartment and threw a “toy car” at him. Victim A said the defendant was naked when he came into the apartment but put pants and a t-shirt on after throwing the object at him. Victim A showed the “toy car” to Officer Sovers, and she observed it was a plastic tricycle. Victim A said the tricycle hit him in the head and the hand; he showed Officer Sovers a small cut along the side of his right, middle fingernail.
Victim A said he has had issues with the defendant in the past and said he is crazy. Victim A said he had not been arguing with the defendant prior to the incident. Officer Sovers then spoke with Victim B (an adult male). Victim B said he was with Victim A in the apartment when the defendant entered the apartment and threw the tricycle. Victim B said the tricycle hit him, too. As Officer Sovers was leaving, she saw a black male walking towards the residence. Witness 1 told Officer Sovers that the male was the defendant.
Officer Sovers observed the defendant to take his jacket and baseball cap off and then turn around and place his hands behind his back. Officer Sovers asked the defendant to speak with her, and he said he got into an argument because his neighbors leave beer bottles on the front porch. The defendant said he has confronted them about it previously. Today, he went into their apartment as the door was open, and he was agitated because “they do this stuff every time and call y’all.” The defendant said he was not afraid of them and would “chop their ass up and eat it.” Officer Sovers began asking the defendant if he threw the tricycle at the males, but before she could finish, the defendant admitted to throwing the “motorcycle” at them.
