EBRSO says Edwards is suspected of firing shots in another attack at an apartment complex on Hanks Drive in April during which he and another gunman were caught on video firing a barrage of bullets at a vehicle in a parking lot. One of the three people targeted in that shooting was struck by gunfire but survived with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Investigators said they were able to find Edwards by tracking a rental car he used in one of the shootings. The rental led detectives to Edwards' girlfriend in Tickfaw. With the help of the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office, deputies were able to find the vehicle with Edwards in the driver's seat. 

A search of his vehicle uncovered two firearms, one of which matched the type of weapon used in the July shooting. Deputies also found shoes at his apartment seen worn by one of the gunmen in surveillance video from the April attack.

Investigators believe Edwards had ongoing disputes with the victims in the April shooting. His ties to the victims in the July shooting are still under investigation.

He was booked Thursday on several counts of attempted first-degree murder, illegal use of a weapon, and aggravated criminal damage to property for both shootings, as well as assault by drive-by shooting in the July 4 attack. 

Edwards' bond has been set at $1,160,000. 

BATON ROUGE - A man sentenced to life in prison for murdering a person said to have sexually abused his girlfriend as a child will get a new trial thanks to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling banning non-unanimous jury convictions.

Court documents obtained by WBRZ Thursday show an appeals court tossed the conviction of Jace Crehan, which came in December 2017. A jury handed down an 11-1 verdict at the time, convicting Crehan of killing Robert Noce Jr., a known sex offender.

Crehan's girlfriend, Brittany Monk, told authorities the couple killed Noce as retribution for abuse she had suffered at the hands of Noce as a child. Noce had taken a plea deal and was sentenced to five years probation in 2015 over Monk's abuse. He was found dead, with his body stuffed in a barrel inside home, about a month later.

Monk pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter in the killing.

Crehan was previously denied an appeal to his conviction, but a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year dictated that criminal juries must be unanimous in order to convict.
