Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty against former Marine Nigel Edge, charged in a North Carolina bar mass shooting that kills three people and injures others. The announcement comes after prosecutors formally brought charges against Edge over the September 2025 incident.
Multiple outlets report Edge faces three counts of first-degree murder, along with additional charges tied to the attack. Sources also describe him as a Marine veteran, including references to his prior service, and some note he is accused of using a motorboat to reach the area before the shooting. While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—such as his background details or the timeline framing—they broadly agree that the prosecution is pursuing the maximum penalty.
