Witnesses take stand to give testimonies in Columbus murder trial

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – Testimony continued today in a Columbus murder trial.

Prosecutors called witnesses to the stand to describe what they saw the night 20-year-old Frank Edwards was shot to death.

Kenny Armistad is charged with murder, felon in possession of a weapon, and two counts of aggravated assault in that deadly shooting.

Edwards was shot in front of a home on 12th Avenue South in December 2020.

40-year-old Terry Brooks was also arrested in the case.

The trial is expected to last most of the week.
