Jamara Quadracus Drake Edwards, 25, was fatally shot on January 12, 2020, in the 1300 block of Corinne Street in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Known to family and friends as Drake, his death was one of several violent incidents that day in the area and deeply affected his community.

Within days investigators arrested suspects. Two juveniles — a 16-year-old male from Hattiesburg and a 15-year-old female from Gulfport — were taken into custody in Gulfport and charged with capital murder; they later faced additional aggravated assault charges. A 17-year-old, Darrell Smith of Hattiesburg, was also charged with capital murder. All three teenagers were charged as adults. On the same morning a separate but nearby shooting led to the arrest of 18-year-old Kendrick McDuffie of Hattiesburg on aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit a felony; investigators say Smith and the two juveniles charged in Edwards’ murder were believed to have been involved in that separate incident as well.

Does anyone have information about Edwards, the events on January 12, 2020, or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
