Editor's note: This story has been updated to include the names of the two victims who died in the shooting
Two people are reported dead and at least 14 injured after gunfire broke out at a late-night party in Greenville, Texas, meant to celebrate Texas A&M University-Commerce’s homecoming, according to the Hunt County Sheriff's Office.
On Monday, the office identified the two people who died as 23-year-old Kevin Berry Jr., of Dallas, and 23-year-old Byron Craven Jr., of Arlington.
Brandon Ray Gonzales, 23, was arrested Monday on a capital murder charge. The suspect is being held at the county jail with bail set at $1 million. Officers have not determined a motive yet, said Sgt. Jeff Haines, a representative of the sheriff's office. Gonzales was arrested at an auto dealership where he works as a mechanic. While Gonzales said he was at the party he has not admitted to being the shooter, Haines said.
The party was about 18 miles from the A&M-Commerce campus and wasn’t a university-sanctioned event. Greenville is about 50 miles northeast of Dallas.
According to The Dallas Morning News, video posted online showed some of the carnage, with at least one victim receiving CPR and others screaming in the background.
At the end of a Dallas vigil Sunday evening for a victim of the shooting, NBC 5 reported, police responded after shots were fired. No injuries were immediately reported.
