The main suspect linked to a shooting early Sunday morning in downtown Austin that left one woman dead and four others injured was arrested in Georgia, according to reports.

Endicott McCray, 24, was arrested at a bus station in East Point, Ga., Wednesday morning, according to KXAN. The news station reports that McCray, who was wearing a rain coat, was spotted by a member of the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force.

According to the Austin American-Statesman, McCray was arrested without incident and is being held in the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta.

Police Chief of Staff Brian Manley said the incident began just after 2:15 a.m. when a gunman opened fire on bystanders at the corner of Brazos and Sixth streets, in the heart of Austin's Entertainment District lined with popular clubs, restaurants and music venues.

"It was a very chaotic scene," Manley said. "A lot of people running in different directions with all the gunshots coming out."

A relative identified the dead woman as Teqnika Moultrie, 30, a school bus driver in the San Francisco Bay Area who was reportedly visiting her fiance's family in Austin. She was to be married this fall.

The episode marked the latest of several shooting incidents in the Sixth Street Entertainment District and in downtown Austin.

Last March, just a few blocks east of Sunday's shooting site on East Sixth, shots were fired into the air on the last night of the South by Southwest international music and media festival. Police arrested two men, and said no one was injured.

Two nights earlier, the Austin Music Hall, a large venue several blocks to the southwest, was evacuated after reports that a man with a gun had entered the packed venue. It was closed after an estimated 150 people rushed through the doors in the ensuing chaos.

No arrests were made.

Perhaps the highest-profile crimes in the downtown area occurred in March 2014 when wannabe rap musician Rashad Owens drove his car through a crowded street during South by Southwest, killing four people, and in November of the same year when a man shot up the federal courthouse and police headquarters before being killed by a policeman.
