In the early hours of May 26, 2026, a party at a short-term rental in the 3700 block of Vilbig Road in West Dallas ended in a mass shooting that killed 24-year-old Jaiden Cooper and two others. Police say gunfire began shortly before 12:30 a.m. when people upstairs opened fire on partygoers entering downstairs. Two women, 20-year-old Jiclyn Scott and 19-year-old Journie Griffin, were pronounced dead at the scene. Cooper was critically injured, taken to a nearby hospital, and later died.

A fourth victim survived after being taken to the hospital by a private vehicle and was reported in stable condition. Witnesses identified 18-year-old Tyson McGriff as one of the shooters and said he had a prior conflict with Jiclyn Scott; officers say a photo-lineup identification and other witness statements led to his arrest on June 5, 2026. McGriff is charged with capital murder in the three deaths and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and is being held in the Dallas County Jail with bond set at $1,362,000; authorities report the case cleared by arrest and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone at the party knew Jaiden Cooper or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
