Ledajrick Rajae Cox was an 18-year-old African American who was fatally shot on May 28, 2017, in Irving, Texas, hours after graduating from David W. Carter High School. He was filling a female friend’s car with gas at a 7-Eleven when a verbal confrontation between his group and another group escalated. After the encounter appeared to deescalate, occupants of a newer model white sedan pulled alongside and opened fire, striking Cox and two others.

Cox was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, where he died of his injuries. Two companions were wounded; one had non-life-threatening injuries and the other was treated and released. Police identified 17-year-old Jeremiah Robinson as the shooter; Robinson was arrested and charged with murder, and detectives also identified the driver and another person who were in the white sedan.

The community held a vigil for Cox and his stepfather urged anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone have information that could help shed more light on what happened that night?
