1. On July 17, a West Campus resident was killed one block from campus.

On the morning of July 17, 18-year-old Stephen Roy Sylvester Jr. was found uncon-scious inside the GrandMarc Apartment Complex on West 26th Street, one block away from the UT-Austin campus. Austin Police Department found Sylvester while responding to a welfare request at approxi-mately 5:49 a.m. APD then transported him to University Medical Center Brackenridge, where he died of a head wound. APD is in-vestigating Sylvester’s death as a homicide and has a suspect, Bryan Michael Canchola, in custody. Canchola is reportedly awaiting being charged with murder. This would be the fifth murder to have taken place in West Campus since 2005.

2. There is no ongoing threat to students or residents.

According to a letter GrandMarc manage-ment sent to residents, there is no ongoing threat to residents because the suspect is in APD custody. Although the two men were not UT students, they were residents in a complex that is largely occupied by UT stu-dents and is one of the closest West Campus apartment buildings to campus. While stu-dents should take notice of this crime, they should not be concerned for their safety.

3. UTPD did not report the death to campus.

On the afternoon of July 17, the University of Texas System Police tweeted, “APD investigat-ing a death off campus. APD reports suspect apprehended. No indication of a threat to cam-pus.” Despite APD releasing little information, UTPD’s coverage of the potential homicide was disappointing. The solitary tweet vaguely

referred to a death, without acknowledging that APD was investigating the death as a homicide. Also, reporting the potential homicide as taking place off campus rather than somewhere more specific, such as in West Campus or a block from the Belo Center for New Media, was mis-leading. UTPD’s social media policy sends cam-pus alerts on APD cases and lower level crimes when the details are released and relevant to campus; strictly speaking, UTPD acted accord-ing to that alert policy. But expanding its de-tailed coverage area to West and North Campus ought to be in order, due to the high number of student residents, despite neither being a part of UT-Austin technically. In the past, UTPD has acted outside of its current policy by choosing to alert students via email of increased vehicu-lar break-ins throughout West Campus and during off-campus bomb threats, so this expan-sion would not be unprecedented. According to UTPD spokesperson Cindy Posey, UTPD knew enough information to determine that there was no threat to campus and therefore no need to issue a campus Safety Alert. However, the majority of UT students live off-campus and commute because of UT’s lack of on campus housing. This factor merits far more consider-ation as UTPD’s alert policy serves to inform students of threats in addition to preventing and intervening in crimes. UTPD’s failure to send a

notification to the community was within its policies but not within reasonable bounds of re-porting criminal activities to a community that largely lives near the scene of the crime.

4. UTPD can patrol, but not intervene in crimes, in West Campus — and that’s a problem.

According to Posey, UTPD has not been in-volved in the pending APD investigation. UTPD has primary jurisdiction over the UT-Austin campus, not the surrounding area. Such lack of involvement is because UTPD’s jurisdiction does not extend to the West and North campus areas. Despite their misleading titles, they are not a part of UT-Austin property or campus. UTPD only works on cases that take place in such areas when APD requests assistance, because they maintain primary jurisdiction, despite the heavy student

population living in both locations. UTPD can patrol these areas, however, and does so fre-quently, especially in collaboration with APD to deal with periods of heavier crime. Such collabo-ration should become more systematic across the Departments, given their good working relation-ship. The two avenues for development should be structured in a way that allows UTPD to patrol West Campus areas that have perpetually high crime rates and increase information sharing on APD investigations that involve students. Ulti-mately, UTPD’s lack of involvement is a symp-tom of a policy that is self-inhibiting. UTPD should be mindful of where students are, and UTPD should gather and disperse the informa-tion to protect students off campus, too.

On a warm summer eve-ning, thousands of Austinites blanket Zilker Park, as the sun sets and the sound of a blues guitar resonates through the crowd. Every other week, the city takes a night off to enjoy a summer tradition — Blues on the Green.

For 25 years, summers in Austin have welcomed Blues on the Green, radio station KGSR’s free signature concert series. Over time, the series has relocated, increased in popularity and expanded its genres, becoming a signature Austin event. On July 22, Bob Schneider and Walker Lukens will perform for this year’s third installment.

“Its a product of a city that has going to see live music in its DNA — the tradition of summer in this city,” said Andy Langer, KGSR disc jockey and Blues on the Green ambassador.

This summer, Blues on the Green has welcomed crowds of nearly 8,000 people. KGSR market manager Scott Gilmore, who’s been with Blues on the Green since its start, said he has witnessed the series’ evolution first hand.

“Now, it’s really broad. You see everything from old hippies to young college students to people that live downtown that work in the high-tech area,”

Gilmore said. “That just wasn’t even possible a dozen years ago. I’m really tickled. It cer-tainly has grown bigger than we ever imagined it would.”

Before Blues on the Green

became an Austin summertime tradition, it was a promotional tool for the Arboretum, a shop-ping center located in North Austin. The center’s marketing team needed to increase its consumer traffic Thursday eve-nings and used Blues on the Green to draw in shoppers.

With 3,000 attendees, god-father of Austin blues, W.C.

Clark, kicked off the series’ first night. Lisa Richardson, UT alumna and head of marketing at the time, said the show ex-ceeded expectations.

“Austin was already known

as a big music city,” Richard-son said. “It was good. I said, ‘I’m just going to quit because it doesn’t go better than this.’ Its one of those events that just goes perfectly.”

The series continued at the Ar-boretum until 1999 when it out-grew the grounds. KGSR found Blues on the Green a more per-manent home in Zilker Park and

moved to Wednesday evenings, bringing in musical performanc-es by popular local artists such as Bob Schneider, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears and Gary Clark Jr.

As time passed, the series broadened genres to include bands such as hip-hop group Riders Against the Storm, Latin band Grupo Fantasma and folk-artist Shakey Graves. Keyboard-ist and vocalist Bill Gryta — also keyboardist of Quiet Company, local rock band and past Blues on the Green performer — said he’s always loved the iconic mu-sic experience.

“It always has great crowds,” Gryta said. “Zilker Park is a beau-tiful place to play. I kind of wish we could keep it going, not just a summer concert series. I wish there were more free to the pub-lic music events.”

Although the concert has grown in popularity, the team at KGSR and its sponsors said they remain committed to providing a free summer event for the Aus-tin community. Langer said they are lucky to have cooperation from the parks department, lo-cal sponsors and the surround-ing neighborhoods to help keep Blues on the Green alive.

“Every other event this size involves a gate and bars and that’s how you make money off these things. We don’t do either of those,” Langer said. “I think that’s part of a 25-year tradi-tion. It’s a community event in the truest sense.”

Blues on the green

Did you know?This year marks Blues on the Green’s 25th anniver-sary as Austin’s largest and longest running free concert series. Blues on the Green was origi-nally a marketing ploy for the Arboretum shopping center. 3,000 people attended the first concert.KSGR didn’t attain rights to Blues on the Green until 1999.It was held at three different locations before moving to Zilker Park.Gary Clark Jr. had to cancel his 2015 Blues on the Green headline show.

Jimmy Vaughan, Steve Mill-er, Gary Clark Jr., Los Lonely Boys and Bob Schneider have all performed.

To remain free, they’ve re-duced annual performances from six to four.

Crowds now range from 5,000 to 8,000 attendees.

Cooperation from local sponsors and Austin Parks and Rec allow the concert series to remain free.

Despite its name, Blues on the Green features art-ists from all genres and primarily local artists.

APD arrests man in connection with July 17’s West Campus death

Police arrested a 20-year-old man in connection to the death of his 18-year-old boyfriend July 17, according to a Travis County affidavit obtained by KVUE.

The victim of the West Campus homicide July 17 has been identified as Stephen Roy Sylvester Jr. His boy-friend and roommate, Bryan Michael Canchola, is still in custody waiting to be charged formally with murder, a first degree felony. His bond is set at $500,000.

Sylvester had bleeding in his brain, a fracture in his neck and showed signs of strangulation, according to autopsy results.

The affidavit reported an officer at the scene said there was a “considerable lack of blood on Sylvester, which suggested to him that the body may have been cleaned prior to his arrival.”

According to Facebook, Sylvester moved to Austin on May 19 from Marble Falls, Texas. Canchola stud-ied at St. Mary’s University and had just finished his sophomore year.

Canchola and Sylvester subleased their apartment at the GrandMarc apartment complex and lived with an-other roommate, who said the two had been drinking on Fourth Street the night of the murder.

Around 4:13 a.m. the roommate heard fighting in their room and Canchola say, “Why would you cheat on me?” A few minutes later, the roommate heard

more sounds of fighting and Sylvester say, “Let go; I’m trying to leave.”

The roommate took Syl-vester to the University Medical Center Bracken-ridge after forcing his way into the bedroom and seeing his head wound. Sylvester left without being treated. The roommate called 911 in case Sylvester had returned to the apartment.

Canchola called 911 later to report Sylvester was unconscious and had a head wound.

The Austin Police Depart-ment responded to the call at 5:50 a.m. and found Syl-vester in the apartment. He was transported to UMCB and later died there.

UTPD did not respond to the call because the area is out of its jurisdiction, spokesper-son Cindy Posey said.

“APD is the primary law enforcement agency for off campus calls,” Posey said. “We assist as requested. If we are in the area and see a crime or one is reported to an officer on scene, we will

respond, but APD is still considered primary.”

GrandMarc residents re-ceived a letter July 17 from resident services manager Neal Toddy assuring them of their safety.

“An arrest has been made in the case and therefore should pose no risk to other residents. … We will com-municate additional infor-mation to you as necessary,” Toddy wrote.

A GoFundMe page to fundraise money for Syl-vester’s memorial appeared July 18, with the goal of $7,000. As of July 19, the page had raised $4,280.

“This is written with a very heavy heart, we are asking for donations to help give our spunky loved one his last, fabulous, runway walk to heaven,” the page description read.

This is the 16th murder in Austin this year.
