Frisco police investigate firearm robbery involving Frisco ISD juveniles

Frisco police are investigating a firearm robbery that followed a pre-arranged meeting in the Frisco Athletic Center parking lot and involved juveniles enrolled in Frisco ISD. Officers responded at about 8 p.m. June 29 and said the suspects fled before they arrived in a blue and white Ford Bronco.

Police later found the Bronco at a fast-food restaurant a few miles from the Frisco Athletic Center and learned it belonged to a nearby resident. Investigators interviewed the people associated with the vehicle, but the person who had the handgun was not there. With help from detectives and school resource officers, police said the preliminary investigation identified the people involved as juveniles enrolled in Frisco ISD.

The Frisco Athletic Center sits at the southeast corner of Preston Road and Wade Boulevard, a busy part of the city that draws families to an award-winning fitness and aquatic complex spanning more than 100,000 square feet and more than 350,000 gallons of water. The incident put a criminal case into a place built for recreation and routine errands, a reminder that parking lots used for quick meetups can turn risky when strangers agree to bring cash, goods or weapons into the same public space.

Police said all identified parties will be held accountable and asked anyone with information to contact the Frisco Police Department at 972-292-6010. Anonymous tips can also be sent by texting FRISCOPD and the tip to 847411 through tip411 or by using the Frisco PD app. The call for service number was 2026-00064126.

The case comes as Frisco continues to face heightened attention on youth violence and school-related incidents, including a 2025 Frisco ISD track-meet stabbing case that drew national attention. That backdrop has made the details of this robbery, especially the use of a firearm in a planned meeting involving students, a local safety issue far beyond one parking lot.
