Kenneth Bernard Edwards, 23, was found shot to death on December 3, 2017, on Roadway Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call and pronounced him dead at the scene; his death was recorded as the city’s 81st homicide that year.

Nearly a year later, on September 5, 2018, three men — Calvin Vance, 29, Naytrone Adams, 25, and Tobias Partlow, 29 — were arrested and charged with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon after an investigation that included interviews and evidence collection. In September 2019 the District Attorney’s Office dismissed the murder charges against all three defendants without leave and without plea agreements, and they were released.

Kenneth’s family and friends continue to seek answers after charges were dropped and no trial occurred. If anyone has information about Kenneth’s death or saw activity on Roadway Street on December 3, 2017, please come forward.
