AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin police say the man who went on a shooting spree on the city's south side Wednesday afternoon is also the suspect in the deadly shooting of Christian Meroney, 32, at the Post South Lamar apartments earlier this week.

Charles Wilson Curry Jr., 29, is currently in the Travis County Jail charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after police arrested him at the Post South Lamar apartments Wednesday afternoon. Records show Curry lives at the Post South Lamar apartments. 

The Austin Police Department says it plans on filing a murder charge soon. 

Education

Curry went to Vanderbilt University from 2007-2011. 

Work History

Sources tell KXAN Curry showed up at the Texas State Capitol before the 2017 legislative session looking for work. He was hired as a Senate Sergeant at Arms. Sources say he moved here from Kentucky. 

 

Senator Joan Huffman's office hired him for the 2017 legislative session, but he was fired at the end of 2017 session. 

He was then hired by the consulting firm Murphy Nasica, which represents Speaker of the House Joe Straus' political team. Craig Murphy of the firm tells KXAN Curry was hired as voter contact coordinator for 12 days in September of 2017. He then told them he had a medical issue and disappeared for two weeks. When he came back, he finished another 10 days of trial period but was not hired on. Murphy said Curry "did not meet their standards as a contractor." 

According to his LinkedIn profile, he was a campaign coordinator in that role. Murphy says Curry exaggerated his LinkedIn profile and was never a campaign coordinator for his firm.

So people just move here from Kentucky and get hired on as a Senate Sergeant at Arms?

Most likely assistant sgt-at-arms. Senate will hire several during each session (probably 18 of us when I was one). Basically crowd control, making sure people in the balcony don’t get rowdy, etc. Aside from some long ass hours, pretty easy job.

In that politician’s defense, he flashed a CHL and a bible. What more qualifications do you need?

You're surprised he knew how to Curry favor?

Christian Meroney was a Texas Ex and huge Longhorn fan.  He posted on orangebloods.  Very fucked up story.

I knew a guy by that name about 30 years ago that was an ATO that even kinda looked like him.

Not personally, but I'm a $9.95er so I've read his posts.  There's been a bunch of threads on orangebloods.

Most ato’s looked exactly like that guy, right down to the smirk

Did himself a ton of favors with that mug.  A ways to go to match her, but still.
