Jaylan Amhad Davis, Arcadia Lake Shooting Update — Suspect in Custody as Charges Elevated to First-Degree Murder

Authorities have identified and taken into custody a person of interest in connection with the deadly mass shooting at Arcadia Lake, a tragedy that has left a community grieving and dozens impacted.

According to court records, 18-year-old Jaylan Amhad Davis was initially sought on a charge of assault and battery with a deadly weapon related to the incident. Officials with the Edmond Police Department confirmed Wednesday that Davis is now in custody, and prosecutors intend to escalate the charges.

Vicki Behenna announced that a first-degree murder charge will be filed, following the death of a teenage victim who succumbed to her injuries Tuesday night. In a statement, Behenna described the incident as a tragic reflection of the growing toll of gun violence among young people, noting that families and lives have been permanently altered.

The shooting occurred Sunday around 9 p.m. at the Scissortail Campground within Arcadia Lake. Emergency dispatch communications indicated multiple victims and ongoing gunfire as officers were directed to the scene. First responders from several agencies quickly mobilized to provide aid.

Investigators say the violence erupted during an unsanctioned gathering that had been promoted on social media. A physical altercation reportedly escalated, leading to gunfire. Initially, authorities reported at least 10 individuals injured; that number later rose to 23, with victims transported by ambulance or arriving at hospitals independently.

As the investigation continues, officials are working to piece together the full sequence of events and are urging anyone with additional information to come forward.
