Police believe Edwards had been hiding out in Kansas City ever since the shooting on March 12th.

Edwards and Bellamy were part of a confrontation March 12 involving several people after a fight with a woman at Rumors Nightclub on Madison Street, according to the probable cause statement.

"We do know there was a disturbance between the parties prior to the shooting and we're certain that's what led up to it," said Capt. Doug Shoemaker with the Jefferson City Police Department. "The extent of the relationship prior to I don't think we have a lot on that yet, or we really don't want to go into that quite yet."

Police said the fight continued a short time later at the College Complex on Industrial Drive where Edwards' friends fought with Bellamy.

After the fight, police say Edwards and his friends followed the car Bellamy was riding in down Missouri Blvd. 

Around 4 a.m., the cars reached the intersection of Broadway and Dunklin where the probable cause tells what happened next: "[Bellamy's] vehicle was slowing or stopping because of a red light when [Bellamy] opened his door, leaned out, and was struck in the head by a bullet."

Bellamy's friends rushed him to Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City for treatment. Bellamy died later that day after being transferred to University Hospital in Columbia.

Bellamy and his friends weren't armed, according to the probable cause statement.

A police spokesman says more charges are possible against Edwards and his friends.
