Leander, TX – The Leander Police Department has announced a major development in the fatal shooting that took place earlier this week at Robin Bledsoe Park. Shaunathan Raby, an 18-year-old resident of Cedar Park, has been arrested and charged with Capital Murder in connection with the death of Bodhi Allen Linman, a 26-year-old Round Rock resident.
The shooting occurred on Tuesday evening, July 29, 2025, around 7:15 p.m., in the parking lot of Robin Bledsoe Park. Leander Police officers responded immediately to reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, officers located the victim, Bodhi Linman, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Officers quickly began administering emergency aid until Leander Fire Department personnel and EMS arrived. Linman was transported to St. David’s Round Rock Hospital, but despite all life-saving efforts, he was later pronounced deceased.
According to police, the suspect, later identified as Shaunathan Raby, fled the scene in a vehicle before officers arrived.
