Sylvernia Edwards, 25, of Texas City, Texas, was one of three people found shot to death in a southeast Houston apartment on April 24, 2020. The shootings occurred in the early hours of the morning; a fourth victim, a man, was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

Police say the scene suggested an apparent robbery. Drug paraphernalia was found in the apartment, and investigators believe the killings may have been tied to a robbery possibly over narcotics. Houston police charged 23-year-old Tyler Pringle with capital murder in the deaths of Edwards and another victim, Kevin Kelly. Pringle was already out on bond on a prior strangulation charge stemming from an alleged June 2019 assault on his ex-girlfriend. A second suspect from the apartment robbery has not been identified, and the third deceased victim’s name has not been released.

Anyone with information about the killings or the unidentified suspect is asked to contact the Houston Police Department.
