Police said the teens killed were 14-year-old Xavier Gonzalez, 16-year-old Ivan Noyala and 17-year-old Rafael Garcia. The boy in the hospital is a 15-year-old, who works at the convenience store.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested in connection to the shooting, but had not been charged as of Monday afternoon, police said.

The shooting was captured on surveillance video, which was shown to the media at a Monday afternoon press conference. Police said they were looking for one other person in relation to the shooting, but he was not suspected of pulling the trigger.

Garland police Lt. Pedro Barineau said investigators don't think the shooting was intended to be a robbery because in the video, the gunman simply turns around, gets back in a pickup truck, which then speeds away.

The identities of those killed were not released Monday. Police said they did not have a motive for the shooting.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Garland Police Department at 972-485-4840. Callers may remain anonymous by calling Garland Crime Stoppers at 972-272-8477 (TIPS). A reward of up-to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to the identity and arrest of the suspect.
