Edward Maurice Morris Jr. was 21 and from Youngstown, Ohio, when he was killed on November 7, 2018. He worked as a packer at Belmont Confection Company and enjoyed music, video games, basketball and the Golden State Warriors. He is survived by both parents, a stepmother and stepfather, two children, five brothers, three sisters and other family and friends.

Edward was one of three people found dead in a car on the city’s south side; his girlfriend, 19-year-old Valarcia Blair, and their three-month-old son, Tariq Morris, were also killed. Investigators say Edward had arranged to meet with Shaiquon Sharpe and Taquashon Ray. Authorities report Ray told police he went to buy drugs and fled when he heard gunfire, while DNA linked Sharpe to a shell casing at the scene. Both men were later charged and indicted on multiple counts, including aggravated murder.

What information do readers have about Edward’s last known movements or about the meeting that led to this attack?
