Just before midnight on June 11, 2025, Coralville police responded to a disturbance at a home in the Western Hills Estates manufactured housing community on Highway 6. Officers found 27-year-old Mason Chance Edwards inside with two gunshot wounds to the chest; he died at the scene. Investigators describe the shooting as an isolated incident and say there is no immediate threat to the public. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation is assisting the Coralville Police, and no arrests have been announced.

Edwards was born September 13, 1997, in Iowa City, graduated from Clear Creek Amana High School, and worked for Capstone Logistics. His record included prior charges: an accusation in June 2018 of shooting someone in the same mobile home park and active charges from a recent incident in another county; authorities have not said whether those matters are related to his death. He is survived by two daughters, Sophia and Octavia, his parents, and siblings; his family held a visitation and graveside service and established an educational fund for the girls.

Did anyone in Western Hills Estates or the surrounding area see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
