Donna D. Edwards was 41 when she was gunned down in Miami on December 29, 2019. Homeless and well known in her neighborhood for being friendly with local business owners and residents, she was shot in broad daylight near a busy road, an Asian market, a beauty parlor and several other businesses. She was pronounced dead at the scene around 3 p.m.

The killing came two days after two other homeless people were found with gunshot wounds at nearby Oak Grove Park; one of those victims, 40-year-old Rony Dassas, was pronounced dead and another man was left in critical condition. Police were collecting ballistic evidence to see whether the same gun was used and were canvassing the area and distributing flyers. A fourth homeless person had been found shot to death on December 15 under the Metrorail.

No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active. If anyone knew Donna, saw activity near the market or Oak Grove Park that week, or has information that could help, please come forward.
