The black autonomous zone — Orisha Land — that has been developing in Austin over the past several weeks was apparently served a notice by the city to vacate public property. The group is incensed over the notification and promised they "are not f***ing going anywhere."

The developers of the Austin's "sovereign citizen" collective called Orisha Land reject state authority to "protect Black liberation and prosperity," Law Officer reported on Tuesday. We reached out to city authorities for a comment, but never received a reply.

On Wednesday, a woman believed to be one of the group's leaders, Njera Eshe Emeya Keith (according to her Instagram profile), said city authorities "tried to deliver a notice to vacate."

Toward the end of the three-plus minute video statement, the woman said, "In case it's not f***ing clear, we are not f***ing going anywhere." She then repeats herself twice, and says, "So try harder. Come harder. Cuz this is just the beginning of the battle. This is just the beginning of the fight. We're not going any-f***ing-where."

The Austin Police Department issued a press statement on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, regarding the officer-involved shooting of Jordan Walton.

Case: 2021-0411020

Date: February 10, 2021

Time: 5:21 p.m.

Location: 2900 block of Rogge Lane

Deceased: Jordan Walton, Black male, born 6-10-1999

The Austin Police Department continues to investigate the officer involved shooting that occurred during the evening hours of Wednesday, February 10, 2021.

At approximately 5:18 p.m., the Austin Police Department responded to a 911 call of a black jeep that crashed into a house at the intersection of Rogge Lane and Manor Road. The caller stated a male subject left the scene of the crash on foot.

Austin 9-1-1 received a separate call at 5:21 p.m. from a resident in close proximity of the crash. This caller stated that someone broke into their residence. APD officers responded to the second caller's location and attempted to make contact with them. While at the front door, a disturbance was heard inside and patrol officers forced entry into the residence. The suspect fired a gun at officers and a patrol officer returned fire. APD SWAT was requested and arrived on scene.

The suspect exited the residence holding a child hostage. An APD SWAT Officer fired a shot, striking the suspect, who was then pronounced deceased on scene. The child and female inside the residence were brought to safety and uninjured.

This incident was captured on body worn camera. Per APD protocol, both officers have been placed on Administrative Leave. The two officers involved have 8 and 13 years of service with the department. APD will conduct two concurrent investigations into this incident: a criminal investigation by the APD Special Investigations Unit in conjunction with the Travis County District Attorney's Office, and an administrative investigation conducted by the APD Internal Affairs Unit, with oversight from the Office of Police Oversight.

Assembling a jury to hear the murder case against former police officer Derek Chauvin remains a struggle for both sides of the case.

Avoiding details about the May 2020 death of George Floyd constituted an impossible exercise for millions of people throughout the summer and fall. In Minneapolis, where Chauvin faces trial, that around-the-clock media coverage means finding an impartial group of 12 men and women looks increasingly difficult.

Starting at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, the court reconvened with both the prosecution and defense interviewing dozens of individuals in the jury pool. Almost immediately, both sides faced challenges.

The first person interviewed, a woman with a heavy Hispanic accent, was quickly dismissed after saying she couldn't understand Chauvin's use of force against Floyd. The defense added that they had concerns about the woman's difficulty speaking English.

The third potential juror interviewed, a woman, was also quickly dismissed by the judge after saying she "can't promise impartiality."

"Clear action was taken ... [a murder] happened," she said early on in her interview.

The next man interviewed, another Hispanic, was dismissed after saying he believed Chauvin's kneeling on Floyd's neck was "an illegal move" and that it appeared he was "taking the law into his own hands."

Following the defense's objections to that juror, the prosecution alleged racial bias by Chauvin's attorneys in what is called a Batson challenge. Under a Supreme Court ruling, peremptory challenges against potential jurors may not be made on the basis of race, gender, or religion.

But Judge Peter Cahill, who is overseeing the case, was not convinced, and jury selection proceeded.

In total, only one juror had been chosen by early Tuesday afternoon before the court took a lunch break. A man who appeared eager to serve on the jury was accepted by both sides. The individual pledged to be "good, fair and impartial" and viewed the role as a juror as an important civic duty.

On Monday morning, jurors were sent home just an hour into the first day of the trial following an appeal filed by the prosecution to force jurors to decide on a third-degree murder charge, on top of the second-degree murder and manslaughter charges Chauvin already faces. The court of appeals has yet to reach a decision on the manner.
