A 30-year-old former Minnesota high school wrestler and aspiring professional mixed martial artist was among three people killed in a mass shooting outside an Austin bar, authorities and family members said.
Jorge Pederson died Monday after being taken off life support, one day after a gunman opened fire near Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in the city’s Sixth Street entertainment district. Pederson had moved from Minnesota to Texas just weeks earlier to begin a new career in marketing.
