Man shot, killed at ex-wife’s home
Police say he made threats, kicked in door of her apartment in Far North

A 41-year-old Carrollton man was shot and killed early Sunday after
kicking in the door of his ex-wife’s apartment, Dallas police said.

Authorities said the woman’s husband shot Anthony L. Austin on the
doorstep of the couple’s apartment about 4:20 a.m. in the 18900 block of
Lina Street in the Denton County portion of Far North Dallas. Mr. Austin
beat down the metal door after repeatedly calling the apartment and
threatening the husband, police said.

Police said that Mr. Austin had previously threatened the man, whose
name was not released. Mr. Austin’s friends told police that he wanted
to ask his former wife to keep their child an extra day so he could go
on a trip. Mr.
Austin and his ex-wife divorced in 1995 and had been involved in an
“long, long, long” child-custody dispute over their 11-year-old
daughter, who was home at the time, said Dallas police Detective B.J.
Watkins.

Mr. Austin, who had custody of the child, was not armed but had been
drinking, police said.
No one else was injured in the shooting.

Mr. Austin’s ex-wife was granted a protective order against her husband
in 1995, records show. It expired the following year.
She and her husband could not be reached for comment Sunday.

The case will be referred to a Denton County grand jury, police said.

Fair Use!
