Davis is already facing other charges in the case including gun possession on school property, tampering with evidence, and gun possession by prohibited person. Police say 28 year old Tyvel Lampkin-Davis and 25 year old Kiwan Dampeer are also facing gun charges in the case.
Update: Statement from Chief Schmaderer: "It is imperative OPD pieces together what took place so resolve can come for the victims and their families. At this point in the investigation, an after-hours party was occurring and a confrontation took place resulting in gunfire. There is no indication it was a random shooting.
Extra OPD resources are being utilized and police presence will increase for the time being."
