Anthony Michael Edwards, 20, was killed in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on April 14, 2014. Edwards and a cousin had arranged to sell marijuana and met two men near 58th Street and 11th Avenue. According to police, an argument escalated when Joseph-Jamal Brantley allegedly struck Edwards, produced a handgun and grabbed a bag of marijuana from Edwards’ lap. As Edwards put the car in gear and tried to drive away, gunshots were fired; he was struck once in the left back, continued driving briefly, then lost consciousness and crashed into a home at 65th Street and Sheridan Road, where he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators followed footprints in fresh snow to an apartment on 59th Street and arrested 22-year-old Joseph-Jamal Brantley and 19-year-old Markese Tibbs; a third person, Brandon Horak, was later charged in connection with the crime. Brantley was convicted by a jury on multiple counts including first-degree reckless homicide and armed robbery and sentenced to 23 years; Tibbs pleaded guilty to felony murder and received 16 years, and Horak pleaded no contest to a felony murder charge. A former Kenosha police officer later admitted to planting a bullet and Tibbs’ ID card during the investigation, a development that complicated the case.

Did anyone in Kenosha have information about Edwards, his movements that night, or those involved that could help clarify unresolved questions?
