 Bank robbery leaves one dead, two in custody web posted July 2, 2009 JACKSON – An Aiken County man was shot and killed by a Jackson Police Officer after a high-speed chase following a bank robbery at the First Citizen’s Bank in Jackson around noon Wednesday. Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton identified the man as 30-year-old Jelani Edwards of Aiken. He was pronounced dead on the scene after firing at a Jackson Police Officer and the officer returned fire, killing Edwards. According to the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office, Jackson Police responded to the 911 call about the bank robbery and began chasing the suspects as they fled the scene until they crashed on Williams Way in Jackson. As the three men exited the vehicle, Edwards pulled a firearm and shot at police when shots were returned and he was killed. A second suspect surrendered immediately and the third suspect ran into a wooded area in an attempt to escape. The third man was later arrested after being found hiding out in a nearby residence. Phillip Paul and Randy Wilson, both of Aiken County, have been arrested and will be charged with armed robbery and the possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. An autopsy on Mr. Edwards is scheduled for today in Newberry Mr. Carlton said. For more information on this story please visit our news partner WJBF News 6 with a report by Joy Howe. © Copyright 2009
