From the New York Post: A 19-year-old Texas college student and a 24-year-old woman has been identified as the victims killed by a suspected terrorist at a popular Austin nightlife spot Sunday.
Ryder Harrington attended Texas Tech University and was described as a “beloved son, brother, and friend” on a GoFundMe page set up in his memory by his fraternity, which he joined in the fall.
Harrington’s “kindness and presence touched countless lives,’’ the touching tribute reads.
For those asking how to support Ryan, Avery, and the entire Harrington family as they process the unbearable loss of Ryder, a gofundme has been set up by his fraternity brothers. But more than anything, please keep them in your prayers. 🙏🏼 #austin #txlegehttps://t.co/E90CSNRtRf

Officials said during a press conference Monday that a third victim is expected to be taken off life support sometime today. Two others are still in critical condition.
The Austin Police Department later clarified the ages of the first two deceased victims, writing, “The deceased victims have been identified as 19-year-old Ryder Harrington and 21-year-old Savitha Shan.”
Savitha Shan had an Instagram account, which shows her profile picture, but the account was private, so her posts are not visible.
