Austin Police identified 19-year-old Ryder Harrington and 21-year-old Savitha Shan as the two victims killed in a mass shooting early Sunday, March 1, 2026, outside Buford’s bar on West 6th Street.

Shooting Overview

Gunman Ndiaga Diagne, 53, opened fire, injuring 14 others (one more died Monday, two critically hurt); responding officers killed him. He wore a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt over an Iranian flag shirt, prompting FBI terrorism probe amid recent U.S. strikes on Iran.

Victim Tributes

Harrington, a Texas Tech Beta Theta Pi pledge, was mourned by family and frat brothers for his joyful spirit; a GoFundMe raised over $70,000. Shan, a UT Austin student, was called a future world-changer by President Jim Davis.​
