Fernando Edwards was 27 when he was fatally shot on the night of July 23, 2023. Officers were called to a Montgomery hospital about 9:25 p.m. after Edwards arrived by personal vehicle with a life-threatening gunshot wound; he did not survive. Authorities later said the shooting occurred in the 600 block of North Pass Road, just off Alabama River Parkway near Northern Boulevard.

Investigators classified the death as a homicide but released few details. Police did not provide a motive, a description of the shooter, or what led up to the shooting. By November 2023 the case remained unsolved and Montgomery authorities and CrimeStoppers offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the shooter’s identification. No arrest, named suspect, charge, trial, or conviction has been announced.
