Colin Norwood, 21, of Baton Rouge, died from a single gunshot to the chest on the evening of Thursday, April 7, 2016, while visiting an apartment at The Edge on North College Road in Lafayette, Louisiana. He was in a group inside the apartment when a firearm discharged; police reports initially described the shooting as accidental and said the weapon was being mishandled when it fired. Norwood was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested 22-year-old David V. Shelvin, a resident of the apartment, after determining Shelvin was handling the gun when it discharged and struck Norwood. Shelvin was booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on one count of negligent homicide, the charge reflecting authorities’ view that negligent handling of the weapon caused Norwood’s death.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall that night at The Edge and can share details that might shed more light on what happened?
