Murder of Amanda Williams in Warrensville Heights: Video of defendant Tirrell Edwards shown at trial

The trial for the man accused in the Warrensville Heights murder of 46-year-old Amanda Williams began with jury selection on Monday.

Court records show that 42-year-old Tirrell Edwards faces multiple charges in the case, including one count of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and one count of domestic violence.

Shortly before opening statements began Tuesday morning, the judge said no live streaming was permitted.

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office says the case dates back to early October when the Warrensville Heights Police Department responded to the scene in the 19700 block of Sunset Drive where Williams was found with multiple gunshot wounds.

She was taken to a nearby hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
