Christopher Lemond Edwards was 20 when he was fatally shot inside the Laced shoe store at the Crichton Shopping Center on Springhill Avenue in Mobile, Alabama, on the afternoon of February 9, 2019. The store manager said the shooting happened in broad daylight with no preceding argument; the gunman opened fire and fled, leaving chaos behind.

Days after the shooting, 19-year-old Terrance Scott Sims Jr. surrendered to Mobile Police and was charged with murder in connection with Edwards’s death. Four other people were arrested in relation to the incident, but Sims was the only one charged with murder. Court testimony described store surveillance video that reportedly showed Edwards in possession of an assault rifle but not brandishing it before he was shot. A judge set bond and Sims was held at the Mobile County Metro Jail. The motive and whether the two young men knew each other remained under investigation.

If anyone was at the Crichton Shopping Center that day or has information about what led to this shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
