After a mass shooting near Arcadia Lake, Jabee Williams says Oklahoma needs to invest in community violence intervention.

“This moment has to be a wake-up call, not just for the community, but for our leaders, our institutions, and everyone with the power to make a difference,” he told reporters Tuesday morning at the Garden Oaks Community Center.

Williams organized the press conference days after the mass shooting at a lakeside party left 23 people with gun-related injuries. He, and supporters and members of his nonprofit, LiveFree Oklahoma, called on county and state governments to fund programs that interrupt and prevent violence among young people.

Shots were fired around 9 p.m. Sunday at a campsite area along Arcadia Lake in Edmond, according to the local police department. A party, dubbed “Sunday Funday” on social media, drew a crowd of people from across the metro area.

Information about what happened at the party is still scant. As of Tuesday afternoon, Edmond Police Department Sergeant James Hamm said there are no suspects in custody. He would not elaborate on whether any suspects have been identified, citing the need to protect an “ongoing investigation.”

“When we do release suspect information that is for two reasons,” Hamm said. “If there’s pertinent information for public safety, or we need the public’s assistance. And currently neither one of those things apply.”
