Fourteen-year-old Shayne Darrell Edwards Jr of Elyria, Ohio, died from a gunshot wound at his home on September 12, 2022. Elyria police officers found Shayne unresponsive early that morning and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Five people were in the house when the shooting occurred.

The investigation identified a drive-by shooting as the cause; Hezekiah Shepherd, 17, and Jose Campos, 19, were reported to have fired multiple rounds into the residence. One bullet struck Shayne in the head. The shooting was said to be linked to retaliation for vandalism of a memorial for Denzel Williams, who was murdered in 2020.

The community raised more than $10,000 via GoFundMe to help Shayne’s family with memorial expenses. Shayne was remembered by loved ones as bright and loving, always smiling. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Shayne and can help fill in missing details?
