UPDATE: Suspect arrested in connection with deadly October shooting at Oakley party
Tucker was shot at a house in the 400 block of Shannon Way. Police had responded to a noise complaint at the house, where a party was being held, 30 minutes before the shooting that was reported at 11:12 p.m. Saturday.

After the officers left, police said they learned from a witness that a group of about 20 to 30 kids showed up at the home. The group went through a side gate after finding the front door was locked.
Not long after, screaming was heard from inside the home and people were seen running out of the front door. About five to six shots were heard in front of the home.
Five 9mm spent shell casings were found. Tucker was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three other teens were injured in the shooting, but are expected to survive. Police continue to search for the suspect. Authorities have not released a description of the suspect.
