Seventeen-year-old Jaylen Dwayne Edgar is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and six counts of attempted first-degree murder following a mass shooting during Halloween festivities in downtown Orlando. The shooting occurred early on November 1, 2024, resulting in two deaths and injuries to six others. Edgar did not attend his first court appearance, sending his distraught mother instead, who confirmed his identity but did not speak further. The judge ruled that Edgar would remain in secure detention pending his next hearing, as he is expected to be tried as an adult due to the severity of the charges. A motive for the shooting has not been disclosed, and the investigation is ongoing, with police reports indicating chaos as revelers fled the scene. Eyewitness accounts describe the panic and confusion during the incident, which was captured on video by police officers present at the scene.
