Johnny Calvin Edmondson Jr., 29, was shot dead inside an apartment at The Hedge Apartments in north Austin on April 18, 2023. Emergency responders found him with a gunshot wound to the head and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 52-year-old Stacey Donnell Easley as the primary suspect. Easley had previously been in a relationship with a woman who is the mother of Edmondson’s child. Easley was arrested on April 21, 2023, by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and charged with first-degree murder; he was booked into the Travis County Jail.

The case went to trial in March 2024. The defense attacked the credibility of the woman who witnessed the incident, citing inconsistencies in her testimony, and the jury acquitted Easley of murder on March 28, 2024. Edmondson’s mother said she remains grieving and still wants answers. Did anyone in north Austin hear or see anything the evening of April 18, 2023 that could help fill gaps in this case?
