Two Dead, One Critically Wounded in Garland Shooting

Detentions of occupants from two vehicles aim to help detectives establish a motive and sequence.

Overview

  • Garland officers responded Sunday morning to reports of a fight on the 400 block of Bay Shore Drive and found three people with gunshot wounds outside a home, with two pronounced dead and a third taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
  • Police say they later located two vehicles that had left the scene and detained the occupants for questioning as detectives continue an active investigation.
  • Garland Police have said preliminary information points to the shooting being an isolated incident and they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the public.
  • Authorities are withholding the victims' names while they notify next of kin and are asking anyone with information or video to call the Garland Police tip line at 972-485-4840.
  • The case fits a recent pattern of clustered weekend shootings that can stretch local resources and prompt broad requests for surveillance footage and public tips as investigators work to determine motive and responsibility.
