On November 4, 2015, 26-year-old Marcel Edwin Edwards was found dead in a second-floor hallway at the Park Place Apartments on Sandy Street in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Edwards, an African American man from Philadelphia, had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

The shooting also killed 26-year-old Quentin Watson Jr. of Eagleville, who was discovered in an adjacent apartment. Investigators say the killings were driven by jealous rage connected to overlapping relationships: both Edwards and Obrian Stephen Lewis, 24, of Philadelphia, were involved with a woman who lived in the apartment. Lewis reportedly called the woman earlier that night with threats and then broke into the unit around 11 p.m., firing at least 20 rounds. The woman and her 4-year-old son with Lewis were in the home but were not physically shot; Lewis allegedly dragged the woman from a closet and struck her with his gun before she escaped.

A Norristown officer confronted Lewis at the scene; Lewis told the officer he had been attacked and had shot the two men. Lewis was taken into custody and the firearm, still hot from firing, was recovered. Does anyone have additional information about Marcel Edwards, his life in Philadelphia, or what led to him being at the Park Place Apartments that night?
