Jason Edwards, 44, was shot and killed during a domestic incident at a Halphen Street residence in Opelousas, Louisiana, on the night of August 10, 2022. Officers who responded to a call about a man shot after an alleged home invasion found Edwards with a single gunshot wound to the chest; he died at the scene.

Investigators concluded the shooting arose from a conflict inside the home rather than an outside break-in. The investigation identified 31-year-old Niesha S. Charles as the person who fired the fatal shot. Charles was arrested and charged; a St. Landry Parish grand jury returned a true bill indicting her for second-degree murder and for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. She was scheduled for arraignment to answer those charges.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who can add details about what happened that night or about Jason’s life in the neighborhood?
