Police still searching for shooter that left Richardson high school student paralyzed

RICHARDSON, Texas - New details have been revealed regarding the shooting near a Richardson shooting that left a high school student paralyzed from the waist down.

What's New:

Court records reveal that before the shooting on March 19, over 500 people attended a "twerk pajama party" being held at a building off South Sherman Street in Dallas.

Dallas Police dispersed the crowd shortly after it started, leading 50 to 100 of the attendees to go to the Waffle House in Richardson on Spring Valley Road.

Records reveal that the incident began after an argument over a girl led to 18-year-old Taylor Griffin punching another person, who left the scene.

17-year-old Charles Webster then reportedly punched another person who was associated with the victim who left, after which a black male pulled out a gun and began shooting.

A witness told police multiple people pulled out guns and began shooting. Court documents state a 16-year-old friend of Seth Jackson, who was shot during the incident, was one of the individuals shooting a gun.

2 arrested in connection with shooting

Several days after the shooting, Richardson Police arrested Griffin and Webster for their involvement and charged them with engaging in organized criminal activity.

Griffin admitted that he punched someone before identifying his cousin Webster to police.

What they're saying:

"I just want to make sure that people know that my boys did not shoot anyone," Tieaster Colley, the mother of Griffin and aunt of Webster, told FOX 4's David Sentendrey.

Colley believes Richardson Police are hoping that the two give up the name of the shooter, who has still not been apprehended.

"I think this may be a way they want answers that they do not have, and they feel like maybe Taylor and Charles can give them those answers," she continued.

Colley said her son did not discuss punching someone with her before he was arrested. She also does not recognize the person seen shooting a gun in video of the incident.

The backstory:

18-year-old Seth Jackson was shot during the March 19 incident and is now permanently paralyzed from the waist down.

James Jackson says his son was involved in the fight after he saw one of his friends getting attacked. In videos of the shooting sent to FOX 4, Jackson does not appear to be anywhere near the shooter.

"He saw five guys jump on his friend, so out of knee-jerk reaction he kind of headed over there," James said. "So he just headed over there and never made it within 10–15 feet."

James says his son worked two jobs and played on the Richardson High School basketball team. He also says Seth had been accepted to the University of Houston, and he already had an apartment rented for the fall semester.

Now, his father is figuring out how to make his home ADA compliant. "I’ve got to go around the house and get a carpenter to modify the bathroom doors. We’ve got to remodel his bathroom."

What's next:

Griffin and Webster remain in jail on $50,000 bond each.

Richardson Police said they do not have any updates on potential new arrests.
