What was meant to be a night of cel­e­bra­tion quick­ly turned in­to a ter­ri­fy­ing or­deal for three young men, who were am­bushed and shot at while at­tend­ing a house par­ty in Mal­oney on Fri­day night.

The vic­tims—15-year-old King Lan­deau, 21-year-old Jordell Coop­er, and 21-year-old Kyle Der­rick—ar­rived at the Build­ing 7 car park around 8:30 pm in a pur­ple Toy­ota Aqua, dri­ven by Coop­er.

As they at­tempt­ed to con­tact a fe­male ac­quain­tance, ter­ror struck. An uniden­ti­fied male sus­pect, ap­prox­i­mate­ly five feet six inch­es tall and dressed in a black T-shirt, ap­proached them with a firearm and, with­out warn­ing, opened fire.
