High school graduate shot dead at Texas party after confronting armed teen

A fight between two girls at a Texas high school graduation party left one graduate dead, authorities said. 

Uhland police officers and Texas Rangers responded to the home May 25 amid reports of a shooting. The homeowner told authorities guests were told to leave around 1 a.m., when a fight broke out between two girls. 

A witness told Texas Rangers the fight started because girls were "making faces" and talking about other girls, according to an affidavit obtained by the news outlet. 

Farias attempted to confront Lee-Gardner, who allegedly opened fire two times and struck Farias. 

Farias, who played cornerback and running back for his high school football team, later died.
