A man was found dead days after he was arrested for pointing a gun at his ex-girlfriend as she worked her shift at a northwest Austin bar.
On Nov. 30, Austin police officers responded to a welfare call in the 13500 block of Lyndhurst Street. Upon arrival, they found 41-year-old Gavin Edward Rush dead.
Just four days earlier, Rush walked into Anderson Mill Pub to confront his ex-girlfriend, who refused to speak to him. He pulled out a gun and pointed it at her chest and was swiftly tackled by two bar patrons. Police arrived and took him into custody. The incident was caught on surveillance video, which Councilmember Mackenzie Kelly shared on Twitter.
Less than two days later, he was released on $40,000 bond.
The Austin Police Department said Rush's death is not considered suspicious and the investigation is ongoing.
