Fatal Shooting at Spirit Plant

A fatal officer-involved shooting outside the former Spirit AeroSystems plant in January 2025 has been officially closed, with the DA declaring the officers’ use of deadly force justified. Devario Edwards, a man in crisis—jobless, struggling with suicidal thoughts and gambling addiction—had a volatile 12-day run that ended when he armed himself with what appeared to be an AK-47, opened fire on officers, and was fatally shot after they returned over 100 rounds. No charges will be filed against the eight officers, who acted under Kansas self-defense laws. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
