Edwards, a member of deejay Mavado's entourage, was shot during an altercation with a policeman at the Quad Nightclub in New Kingston on June 13. It is reported that Mavado's entourage was involved in an altercation with police personnel on the steps of the nightclub. It is alleged that a cop was assaulted by a member of Mavado's crew. The policeman then allegedly opened fire hitting Mavado's crew member.

Edwards was admitted to hospital in serious condition. However, he later succumbed to his injuries.
