On June 24, 2017, Edward Hatcher, 17, was found dead inside an apartment in the 10000 block of Toelle Lane in the Riverview neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. Police responded that afternoon after reports of gunfire and determined Hatcher died of a single gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators quickly identified a 17-year-old friend who had been at the residence. Authorities arrested Cliff Edwards and say he told detectives he had pointed a firearm at Hatcher’s head and pulled the trigger, believing the gun was safe after removing the magazine while a round remained in the chamber. Edwards was charged on June 26, 2017, with one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of armed criminal action and was held on a $100,000 cash-only bond.

Are there readers who knew Edward or who have information about what happened that afternoon?
