Trial scheduled for Westbard shooting suspect


A scheduling hearing was finally held last Friday, July 25, 2025, for the trial of the lone suspect arrested so far in the March 29, 2025 shooting on Westbard Avenue in Bethesda. The three-day jury trial of Devon Edwards, 22, is now scheduled for January 7, 2026, in the courtroom of Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge J. Bradford McCullough. Edwards is facing charges of felony 1st-degree assault, reckless endangerment, loaded handgun on person, and discharging a firearm in an urban area in the shooting outside of the Bowlero bowling alley at 5353 Westbard Avenue at Westbard Square. He is being held without bond at the County jail in Clarksburg. Two people were injured in the shootout, and one or more additional alleged shooters have outwitted capture and still remain at-large.

Do the Po-po know who the other miscreants are and just can't find them? I think not, this cretin hasn't divulged that? If so, the County prosecution has already lost going into this. Am waiting for inane press conference

This should be embarrassing to the County but they're too inept to even realize it.
