On October 23, 2017, 60-year-old Jeri Lee Edwards was found dead outside her home in Cedar Hill, Texas after a shooting that also left her fiancé, David Bailey, and her son, Nick Edwards, critically injured. The shooting followed an ongoing feud with their neighbor, 68-year-old Danny Howard Silvers. Police say Silvers complained that neighbors had been drinking and yelling at him and that earlier that evening officers had responded to an argument about sprinkler water getting into Silvers’ vehicle.

Silvers was arrested at the scene and charged with one count of murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The case later resulted in a 35-year prison sentence for Silvers for the murder of Jeri Lee Edwards and the injuries to Bailey and Nick Edwards. The neighborhood was reported to be shaken by the violence and by the escalation of a dispute that began over everyday grievances.

Did anyone in Cedar Hill know Jeri Lee Edwards or observe rising tensions between these neighbors before the shooting?
