Garland police still investigating exactly what led up to the double murder. Police do know multiple people opened fire outside the party.
The family of one of two young men killed during a shootout at a party in Garland says he had just celebrated his 18th birthday last week.
Saturday night, Blanca Garcia of Greenville let her son go to a Garland party.

Police say both Jose Damian and his friend were involved in the shootout.
