David Edwards was 31 when he was fatally shot at a gas station on East Washington Avenue in Madison on March 1, 2017. Police later said he had been specifically targeted, though the motive was not made public at the time.

Court documents filed the following year say the shooting was a case of mistaken identity: the accused gunman, 26-year-old Jordan Sharlow, allegedly mistook Edwards for another man. Sharlow was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; his bond was set at one million dollars.

The man Sharlow allegedly intended to kill was 29-year-old Ricardo Simms. Simms was himself shot and killed five months after Edwards’ death, and no arrests had been announced in Simms’ homicide as of these documents.

If anyone witnessed the March 1, 2017 shooting or knew David Edwards, please share information that could help investigators.
