Austin Police identified the West Sixth Street shooting suspect as Ndiaga Diagne. Diagne entered the US on March 13, 2000, on a B‑2 tourist visa, a Department of Homeland Security official told CNN. Since moving to the Lone Star State, he has had multiple addresses, the law enforcement official told CNN. A Quran was also found in the suspect’s car, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation. They will also review whether Diagne had any mental health encounters while living in Texas, multiple law enforcement officials have said.
