3 dead after Garland shooting stemming from dispute, police say

GARLAND, Texas - A quiet Sunday morning was shattered by gunfire in Garland when officers found three people shot outside a home around 7:45 a.m., and later located two vehicles that had left the scene.

All three victims did not survive. Now, detectives are trying to sort out who did what and why.

What we know:

Garland police are still working to piece together what led to a shooting that killed three men this morning.

What started as a fight in a Garland neighborhood turned into a deadly shooting on Sunday. When Garland officers arrived at the 400 block of Bayshore Drive, they found three men who had been shot. Two were pronounced dead at the scene. The third later died at the hospital.

Police learned that two vehicles left the scene of the shooting before officers arrived. 

Officers were able to find both vehicles and detained several people inside, but detectives are still working to try and figure out what happened.

What they're saying:

"What we learned and what we believe happened is that the three of them actually were known to one another. The relationships are still part of the investigation, but they were known to one another, and it stemmed from perhaps a disturbance that happened the night before that carried over into this morning," said Pedro Barineau of Garland Police Department.

"The people that we have detained, they are cooperating, and we're getting information to assist us in determining what actually led up. In addition to that, we're also looking for video surveillance that can assist us in this investigation."

What's next:

Anyone with any information or additional video is being asked to reach out to the Garland Police Department at 972-485-4840.
