 (Pictured: Above: Kevin Edwards, only remaining suspect in 9-year old Tyshawn Lee murder case. Photo Credit: CBS Chicago) Police said three men were involved in the killing of Tyshawn, including a man who is already in custody on unrelated charges. Kevin Edwards, of Chicago, is wanted for first-degree murder, police said. On Nov. 2 they were driving around when they spotted Tyshawn at Dawes Park. and one of the men lured him into the alley where they shot him, Canellis said. Tyshawn was hit in his back, forearm and head, and part of his thumb was shot off as if he was raising his hand to block the shots, Canellis said. Commissioner McCarthy believes 9-year-old Lee's death was related to his father's gang affiliations. "It was an act of barbarism, the assassination of a 9-year-old child as a gang retaliation to get back at his father". South Side has seen a drastic rise in homicides in recent months, but Lee's death in particular has prickled the conscience of many in Chicago. The father, Pierre Stokes, has said that his son's death had nothing to do with him. He also expressed frustration with police, saying investigators seemed more interested in him than in finding who shot Tyshawn. "All I can say is that with every thing going on in Chicago to say that people are not interested in what's going on is false", Adam said. The planned demonstration - which coincides with the busy "Black Friday" shopping day in the USA - comes three days after police released video footage showing Jason Van Dyke shooting the teenager 16 times. Gangs battle over turf and the right to sell drugs in what's known as the most unsafe neighborhood, Auburn-Gresham, where Tyshawn resided and was gunned down. A third suspect in the case is now being held on unrelated charges. Asked about Stokes' cooperation with authorities, McCarthy said he wasn't being helpful, " not at all". "Corey Morgan is a documented gang member, a convicted felon", he complained. "If you have a monster who's willing to assassinate a 9-year-old, what is that person likely to do if they know that somebody's cooperating with the case?" Police and local activists offered reward money for information that would lead to the suspects' arrests. On Nov. 17, police arrested Morgan, a person of interest in the slaying of the fourth grader. tpmelectioncentral.com/2015/11/28/man-charged-with-murder-in-killing-of-chicago-9-year-old.htmlAdmin Note #1: Based on articles, anyone with information on Edwards' whereabouts should contact the US Marshals tip line at 1-877-WANTED-2 or 1-800-336-0102Admin Note #2: If you have any other updated information on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form |

Thoughts? I want to thank HeadMarshal for updating in the Lee thread but I decided to make a thread for Edwards himself. A lot of people make the assumption that African-Americans only protest when there's a police controversy and never protest black-on-black crime and that's simply not true. It's just its' never covered as well in the media. Take a look at the media coverage of the Deer Island Baby Doe compared to the Garfield Park Baby Doe and it's night and day. The article forgot the mention the name of the teenager was Laquan MacDonald in the case involving the officer. While the officer still has the right to defend himself in court and have a jury decide his fate (although admittedly the video doesn't look good for him), there are plenty of African-Americans fed up with violence among themselves in their community as well. It's important to support the police while at the same time it's also important for police to try to improve community relations and for the bad cops in an otherwise great profession to be held accountable. It's also important to improve communities and no snitching codes and get a dangerous guy like Edwards off the streets.
So anyone who knows where he is, you can call your police or however you may feel you can still call your local Crime Stoppers which is a line where you can remain anonymous and get this guy off the streets. This is also now a US Marshals case as well, the Marshals are a federal agency, so you can talk to them and don't need to contact your local police. (For the record, I'm not saying not to call/trust Chicago P.D., just with all the controversy going on, there are still plenty of other avenues to turn Edwards in regardless of how you feel). Just do whatever you can to get this guy who allegedly helped kill an innocent 9-year old child off the streets and stop worrying about "snitching."

Authorities have identified a man named Dwight Boone-Doty as the suspected executioner of Tyshawn Lee. But please keep in mind, if you willingly participate in a murder, you're still just as responsible no matter who pulled the trigger. And Edwards allegedly helped in what police say was the targeted execution of a 9-year old boy. It looks like authorities have the final pieces to the puzzle falling into place. Let's help them tie up loose ends by finally catching this alleged punk. abc7chicago.com/news/cpd-says-it-has-identified-executioner-in-tyshawn-lee-murder/1235544/ |

Even worse, the legacy of Tyshawn Lee's life will be basically remembered as a gang-vs-gang conflict where Tyshawn's own father has been charged with a separate attempted homicide in connection with his son's murder.

Kevin Edwards was arrested after a minor traffic violation in Danville, Illinois. He was also charged with resisting arrest and obstructing a peace officer. After such a violent and tragic story, Edwards went down in a relatively mundane fashion- which she should all be thankful for since it could have ended much worse. Hopefully now all the players are in and it can start the process of justice for Tyshawn. chicago.suntimes.com/news/third-suspect-in-tyshawn-lees-murder-arrested-downstate/ |

Ive been meaning to update this thread because back in 2019 I gunman dwright boone dotry was sentenced to 90 years in prison Corey morgan was the mastermind was sentenced to 65 yeara and Kevin Edwards testified against the other two was sentenced to 25 years for driving the getaway car according to abc7chicago or just type it in google also the victims father was arrested and convicted of attempted murder his name was pierre stokes the. Motive was obviously revenge for them killing his son he attacked Morgans aunt and her two nephews while the killing of tyshawn Lee is vile abd unforgivable that doesn't give me stones the right to play judge jury and executioner though i understand why he would lash out like that even though I don't condone his actions
