On the evening of February 10, 2014, 22-year-old Kyle Edwards was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the first-floor hallway of his residence at 31 Kossuth Street in New Haven’s Hill neighborhood. He was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and pronounced dead; his death was recorded as the city’s fourth homicide of 2014 and the first fatal shooting in Hill North in more than a year. Edwards, known as Lil Lover, was described by those who knew him as a good kid. He had endured family tragedy before: when he was five his older brother, Dennis Carr Jr., was shot and killed nearby in 1997, a loss that resonated through the family.

The investigation led to an arrest warrant in August 2014 for 19-year-old Jaquawn Burton and the recovery of the handgun used in the shooting, with ATF assistance. Prosecutors said the killing stemmed from a dispute over a bag of marijuana; witnesses testified Edwards went downstairs after receiving a phone call and took marijuana with him, and that Burton later admitted shooting Edwards after an argument about the amount. Jaquwan Burton was later tried and found guilty of murder and weapons charges.

Did anyone in the Hill neighborhood see or hear anything on the night of February 10, 2014, that could shed more light on what happened?
