Police, Officials Insist Attacks on Drivers Not Related to Juneteenth Celebrations
 Police and organizers of Juneteenth events in two cities went out of their way Thursday to insist that attacks against drivers one of which left an Austin, Texas, man dead have nothing to do with the crowds attending the celebrations. But in both cases, electronic evidence raises questions about how the crimes were being characterized by officials. In Austin, a woman who called 911 on Tuesday night to report the brutal beating of David Rivas Morales, a 40-year-old man attacked by a crowd in a housing complex parking lot, said she struggled to the police dispatcher to understand her location, and described the scene as a gang fight involving people celebrating Juneteenth at a nearby park, according to audio files released Thursday by the city.
