On May 26, 2026, 19-year-old Journie Griffin was killed in a shooting at a short-term rental on Vilbig Road in West Dallas. A recent high school graduate, Journie was described by her mother as full of life, outspoken, and independent. She was among three people who died after gunfire erupted shortly after midnight during a party; 20-year-old Jaiclyn Scott and 24-year-old Jaiden Cooper also died, and a fourth person was wounded and taken to a hospital in a private vehicle.

Investigators recovered multiple shell casings and interviewed witnesses who said an earlier dispute that evening involved Jaiclyn Scott and a man later identified as 18-year-old Tyson McGriff. Witnesses told police McGriff had been taken outside during that argument, then returned and the shooting began. On June 5, 2026, the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force arrested McGriff; he was later charged with capital murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and booked into the Dallas County Jail.
