2 arrests made after fatal triple shooting in Muncie apartment complex

MUNCIE, Ind. -- Two additional men have been charged after a robbery led to a fatal triple shooting at a Muncie apartment complex in February 2021.




According to court documents recently filed in Delaware County, Darnell Edwards and Marquis Jackson Jr. each face:

• Three counts of murder





• One count of conspiracy to commit robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, a Level 2 felony





• One count of aiding, inducing or causing robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, a Level 2 felony

This comes after Chandler Harris pleaded guilty to three counts of felony murder in relation to this incident. According to court documents, Harris' sentencing is scheduled for July 28.




On Feb. 18, 2021, officers with the Muncie Police Department were dispatched to an apartment complex in north Muncie for a shots fired call but didn't find anything at the time. The next day, the department received multiple calls about a shooting in the complex the night before.




When officers entered an apartment in the complex, they located three individuals who had been shot. All three, including Adrian George, Devonte Hollis and Terrence Thomas, were pronounced dead.




In a search of the apartment, court documents indicate that officers found "several spent shell casings and projectiles," as well as an ID card that allegedly belonged Edwards and a cell phone that allegedly belonged to Harris.








In an interview, a witness told police that George, Hollis and Thomas were all in the apartment, along with Edwards, Harris and Jackson, when she left. When she came back, the witness reportedly told police that she discovered that George, Hollis and Thomas had been shot.




Harris reportedly told law enforcement that the group had conspired to rob the three individuals inside the apartment. Harris reportedly said that $20,000 was taken from the apartment after the shooting.




On Feb. 22, 2021, Edwards was located in a Fishers hotel. The court documents indicate that he was checked in under a false name. In the room, police reportedly found a dismantled handgun with "parts of it located inside a toilet."




Jackson was located in Fishers on March 11, 2021. Jackson reportedly told police at the time that he was in the apartment during the incident but was "asleep at the time of the shooting." When Jackson saw that there had been a shooting, he told police that he "ran out of the apartment."
