Andrew Edwards Jr. was 29 when he was found in a hallway of the Crestview Gardens housing complex in New Castle, Pennsylvania, on June 20, 2014, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators focused quickly on a primary suspect after witness accounts and surveillance footage were reviewed.

Within a month police arrested 28-year-old Antonio Kelly, a Detroit native then living in Harbor Heights, while he was already jailed on unrelated firearms charges. He was charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, firing into an occupied structure, and tampering with physical evidence. Surveillance video of the shooting was introduced at trial.

A jury convicted Antonio Kelly of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. A judgment of sentence was entered on October 21, 2015, and the Superior Court of Pennsylvania later affirmed the conviction on January 3, 2017.
