On April 19, 2018, Abigail L. Edwards, 20, was fatally shot inside a second-floor bedroom of a home in the 500 block of South Oxford Avenue in Independence, Missouri. Officers responding around 12:35 a.m. found her after hearing screaming; she was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators concluded Edwards was not the intended target. The shooting grew out of an ongoing feud tied to a stolen vehicle and a separate arson at a suspect’s parents’ home; the perpetrators sought retaliation against a person involved in that dispute. Police identified Tristen W. Bishop and William H. York as suspects. According to interviews referenced in court records, Bishop and York fired pistols into the residence; Bishop said York fired first and that he followed, later saying he did not intend to kill Edwards.

Both men were arrested and charged. Does anyone have information about Abigail, the residence, or the events that night?
