A Hill Country man wanted for murder was arrested without incident by Cibolo police earlier this month.
Sean Walton, 24, of Burnet, is accused of a shooting and killing a man on May 8 at a Budget Inn in Austin, Austin city officials said.
Walton shot Se Hun Park, who worked the front desk at the inn, after an apparent argument, according to a City of Austin news release.
After the shooting, Walton fled the scene. Park died at a local hospital six days later.
Two days after the shooting, Cibolo police said a license plate reader located Walton’s vehicle in the 700 block of Cibolo Valley Drive. Walton was then taken into custody.
Walton was booked into the Guadalupe County Jail on several charges, including murder. A judge set his bond at a combined $1,332,000, records indicate.
In addition to murder, county jail records show Walton is facing five more charges in three separate counties:
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (second-degree felony) – Travis County
- Unlawful possession of a firearm (felony) – Burnet County
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (second-degree felony) – Burnet County
- Possession of less than two ounces of marijuana (Class B misdemeanor) – Guadalupe County
- Possession of a controlled substance between 1-4 grams (third-degree felony) – Guadalupe County
As of Wednesday afternoon, Walton remains in Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office custody.
