A fight between two girls at a Texas high school graduation party left one graduate dead, authorities said. 

Andrew Farias, 18, was killed during the dispute at a home in the Austin suburb of Uhland, Fox 7 reported

On May 25, Uhland police officers and Texas Rangers were called to a residence following reports of a shooting incident. The homeowner explained to the authorities that guests were asked to leave at around 1 a.m. after a fight erupted between two girls. 

Andrew Farias, 18, tragically lost his life in a shooting at a party just hours after his high school graduation. Chad Lee-Gardner, also 18, has been charged with his murder. 

Farias attempted to confront Lee-Gardner, who allegedly opened fire two times and struck Farias. 

Farias, who played cornerback and running back for his high school football team, later died. 

Lee-Gardner fled before officers arrived, but he was later taken into custody in Austin on suspicion of murder, police said.
