According to his attorney, Army Sergeant Daniel Perry was driving for a ride-share company and had dropped off a client in downtown Austin shortly before the shooting. Perry was heading to a hot spot to wait for notification on another pick-up or food delivery when he turned right onto Congress Avenue and encountered a large group of protesters.
Perry allegedly did not know there was a protest going on in downtown Austin.
The District Attorney s office Thursday said the court has set bail for Perry in the amount of $250,000 for the murder and aggravated assault case, and $50,000 for the misdemeanor deadly conduct case.
