Police say the car was backing up toward responding officers, prompting one to shoot at the vehicle. A bullet broke through the front seat passenger’s window and hit Edwards. Shortly after, Edwards was rushed to a hospital, where he died from gunshot injuries. No officers were injured in the incident.

Edwards’s coaches and community members
reportedly attended a press conference demanding answers for the shooting. Mesquite Independent School District, where Edwards was a freshman in high school, in a statement called him “a good student who was very well liked by his teachers, coaches, and his fellow students.” He played football at the school, with one of his teammates calling him “the best running back I ever played with.”

An analysis of the available FBI data by Dara Lind for Vox shows that US police kill black people at disproportionate rates: They accounted for 31 percent of police killing victims in 2012, even though they made up just 13 percent of the US population.
