Two 18-Year-Olds Face Capital Murder Charges After Two People Were Killed Outside a Tyler Nightclub

Two 18-year-old men, Andru Davis and Brandon Joseph Young, are facing capital murder charges in connection with a deadly mass shooting outside a nightclub in Tyler, Texas.

The shooting happened during the early morning hours of March 22, 2026, at Club Exotica, also known as the Exotic Social Club, on Smith County Road 46 West.

Two people were killed:

• Keundas Jamoure Sanford, 32
• Keion Dwayne Redd, 24

Two other people were injured.

According to police arrest affidavits, investigators believe the shooting was connected to gang retaliation stemming from a previous nightclub shooting in December 2025.

Witnesses identified Davis as the masked gunman who allegedly opened fire into the crowd while wearing a ski mask. Authorities allege Young acted as the getaway driver.

Investigators identified both men as documented members of the SFN, or “Shoot First Nation,” West Side Rolling 60’s Crips criminal street gang.

After the shooting, authorities say Davis and Young fled to Houston. Law enforcement arrested them on March 24.

Davis is charged with capital murder of multiple persons and engaging in organized criminal activity. His bond was set at $1.5 million.

Young was initially charged with engaging in organized criminal activity and deadly conduct. A grand jury subsequently upgraded the case against him to capital murder. His total bond was set at $1 million.

Both men remain in the Smith County Jail.

The cases are pending. Neither Davis nor Young has been convicted, and prosecutors had not yet announced whether they would seek the death penalty as of the information available here.

Keundas Sanford was 32. Keion Redd was 24. Whatever retaliation investigators believe brought gunfire to that parking lot, two people are fucking dead because somebody decided a crowd of human beings was an acceptable place to settle it.
