Officers discovered the victim had a deep laceration to his abdomen and he was taken to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment.

A “be on the lookout” was issued for the suspect who was seen fleeing the scene, and officers found Edwards a short time later, the report said.

Officers searched Edwards and he had two knives, including one with a small amount of wet blood, the report said.

A witness and friend of the victim said he and his friends were on a bachelorette party in Miami Beach and were at a club.

The witness said he and his friends were leaving the club and waiting for their vehicles when the victim exclaimed, “Yo, I just got stabbed,” the report said.

The witness said he turned and saw Edwards with the knife, the report said.

That witness added that he saw Edwards at the club and believed there was an argument about women, the report said.

Edwards, whose clothing was also bloody, refused to talk to investigators, the report said.

He was arrested and taken to prison. Attorney information was not available.
