A shooting that unfolded overnight in West Dallas has left three people dead and another in the hospital, according to the Dallas Police Department.
Maj. Bobbie Epperson, commander of the department's Crimes Against Persons Division, shared initial details during a brief press conference. Epperson said officers responded around 12:20 a.m. Tuesday to a short-term rental home along Vilbig Road near Canada Drive. Epperson said they found four victims. Two victims were declared dead at the scene, while a third was declared dead at a hospital.
The condition of the fourth victim is unknown, but police said they were stable.
All four victims are adults, Epperson said. A suspect has not yet been identified. Later in the day, Dallas Police identified two of the victims as 20-year-old Jaiclyn Scott and 19-year-old Journie Griffin. The third victim's name will be released once next of kin is notified, per the department.
Epperson said the exact details about what lead up to the shooting were still being looked into. He did, however, say it appeared the suspect left the scene after the incident, and that a party was happening when gunfire erupted
