Teris King, an 18-year-old who had just graduated high school, was killed during the early morning hours of August 3, 2026, after gunfire erupted at a birthday pajama party held at a short-term rental on Coolidge Highway in Oak Park, Michigan. About 15 young people had been inside the home; family and witnesses said an uninvited group showed up earlier, were asked to leave, and apparently did. Hours later, shortly before 5 a.m., an intense burst of gunfire came from outside the residence. Oak Park Public Safety received multiple reports of shots at about 4:48 a.m., and one nearby resident estimated 40 to 50 rounds were fired.

King and 19-year-old Dashaun Green were struck and found dead inside the house. Two others were wounded and taken to a hospital. A 16-year-old who escaped said many attendees were asleep when the shooting began, and relatives have suggested a possible link to the earlier removal of the uninvited group, but police have not confirmed a motive. Investigators from Oak Park Public Safety and the Oakland County Crime Scene Analysis Unit processed the extensive scene, and as of reporting through August 11, 2026, no arrests, charges, or public suspect identifications had been announced.

Does anyone who attended the party or was in that neighborhood in the early morning of August 3 have information that could help clarify who fired into the home and why?
