Here are five things to know about the suspect, who police describe as a 24-year-old white male.

  1. Mark A Condit, of Pflurgerville, Texas has been identified as the bomber.
  2. It’s unclear at this time whether he acted alone. Even though the bombing suspect has died authorities are still urging residents to be on high alert since they don’t know if he acted alone or if he sent other packages.
  3. He killed two people. Anthony Stephan House, the first victim, was reportedly a family man and loving father to an eight-year-old daughter before his life was tragically cut short by a package bomb. Police identified Draylen Mason as the 17-year-old musician that was killed in a second attack. The Violin Channel reports that Draylen Mason was an honor roll bass student at the East Austin College Prep, where he studied with William Bill Dick. Mason was also a member of the Interlochen Center for the Arts, the Austin Youth Orchestra and the Austin Soundwaves.
  4. Fedex explosion related to Austin bombings. While the first four bombings didn’t use any mailing services, the bomber seemed to have been ready to step up his attacks by using the Fedex delivery system.
  5. Even though suspected bomber is dead, Austin remains on high alert. Authorities are still urging residents to be on high alert since they don’t know if the bombing suspect acted alone or if he sent other packages prior to killing himself.
