Cedar Park Shooting Victim Dies Of His Injuries: Police

CEDAR PARK, TX — Cedar Park police on Thursday provided more details related to a fatal shooting incident over the weekend, identifying the suspect and victim in the case.

Police said the victim, Jason Sean Robinson, 39, succumbed to his injuries at an area hospital. Following the results of an autopsy, police added, Kelly Lawrence Schernik, 37, was charged with murder.

Police initially were dispatched to 2114 Bindon Drive at around 5:45 a.m. amid reports of a shooting. There, they found Robinson suffering from multiple gunshot wounds before he was transported to a hospital in stable condition.

Police said Schernik fled the scene in a vehicle before being located at his home. He was then taken into custody without incident for booking at the Travis County jail, police added.

"Based on our investigation, it appears the victim and suspect are known to each other and the shooting was a result of an early morning altercation over the suspect remaining at the house," police wrote in a press advisory.

Police noted Schernik originally was charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury with a deadly weapon, a second degree felony, before the charge was upgraded to murder.
