(Coatesville, PA 19320) Earlier today (Sept 29), detectives from the New Castle County Division of Police Special Investigation Squad were able to determine the location of 22-year-old, Khairon Edwards to be inside of a residence in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.

Officers from Coatesville Police Department, along with the Chester County Regional SWAT team, were contacted.  When they arrived, a perimeter was established around the residence. After numerous attempts to call Edwards out of the residence had failed, the officers made entry. Inside of the residence they found Edwards deceased from an apparent, self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“This was certainly an unfortunate incident for all involved.” stated Colonel Vaughn M. Bond, Jr., “We would like to thank the multiple agencies and members of the community for their assistance. Also, we ask that you keep our officers and the Edwards family in prayer.”
