The tragic incident at Arcadia Lake in Oklahoma has claimed the life of an 18-year-old woman, identified by her family as Avianna Smith-Gray. This devastating event also left nearly twenty others wounded.
A GoFundMe page, created by her family on Tuesday night, honors Avianna as a “victim of the Arcadia Lake Shooting” and describes her as “a loving and caring person.”
The page further details Avianna’s passions, highlighting her skills as an enthusiastic dancer, her talent with children, and her abilities as a singer and hairstylist.
“Avianna was vibrant and cherished spending time with her family, friends, and boyfriend. At just 18, she was on the brink of graduating, eagerly anticipating her moment to walk across the stage. Her impact was significant, and her presence will be missed dearly,” the GoFundMe message poignantly reads.

While local authorities have not publicly released her name, they did confirm that an 18-year-old succumbed to injuries sustained in the mass shooting.
“We are saddened to confirm that an 18-year-old young woman has passed away from injuries sustained in the Arcadia Lake shooting on Sunday night,” the Edmond Police Department (EPD) wrote in a Tuesday night X post.
The Arcadia Lake shooting occurred shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday, according to EPD. At least 23 victims suffered gunshot-related injuries and at least 10 were taken to local area hospitals, according to a statement from EPD.
“The incident occurred during an unsanctioned party that began after dark and was advertised across multiple social media platforms, drawing a large crowd of young adults from across the metro area,” EPD’s statement read.
EPD responded to multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired.
Oklahoma City Police and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol also responded, according to EPD.

The trouble reportedly started when some of the party attendees started arguing with each other about their boyfriends, witness Jeremiah Braxton told The Associated Press.
“Everybody got scared, dudes was panicking, women was panicking, people seeing their friends fight,” Braxton said.
Another witness, Michael Triplet, was shot in the rear. He told the AP it was a “scary situation.”
