Earlier — Austin police are not releasing many details about an overnight murder in southwest Austin.
Officers were called to a disturbance on McCarty Lane near William Cannon just after 1 a.m. Saturday. When they arrived, they found a woman dead at the house.
The man involved with the disturbance ran away before officers arrived. Investigators say the victim and witnesses know the man, but they're not saying much more.
"At this time, this is being investigated as a homicide, but we are going to withhold suspect information until — as far as method of injuries and so forth — until the investigation progresses farther," officer Traver Stefan said.
Witnesses are being interviewed. It's not known if the man involved has been caught.
