An 18-year-old man was killed and two others were wounded in a shooting early Sunday outside an Irving convenience store.
The shooting happened about 1:40 a.m. in the 3300 block of Walnut Hill Lane near Belt Line Road.
Three men with gunshot wounds were taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital for treatment, but Ledajrick Rajae Cox died of his injuries, police said.
Cox graduated Saturday from David W. Carter High School, where he ran track and was a wide-receiver on the football team. He was also named homecoming king and prom king, KDFW-TV (Channel 4) reported.
One of the victims remained hospitalized Sunday night with wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening. The third victim was treated and released.
The three men were with two other friends at the 7-Eleven at Belt Line and Walnut Hill when one person got into an argument with a man in the parking lot, possibly because the man was speaking to one of the women in the vehicle. Cox didn't know the man.
The group of friends left shortly after the argument, but they were followed by a newer-model white sedan, police said.
The car pulled alongside them and at least one person inside fired multiple shots into their vehicle and fled.
Detailed descriptions of the three people in the white sedan were not provided, but police did release photos of one man they were seeking in connection with the case. One of the three men who were in the sedan is believed to be the person who was involved in the argument, police said.
