Police arrest 2 men in connection to fatal shooting at Mount Healthy apartment

A second suspect was arrested Thursday in connection to the fatal shooting of a Mount Healthy man last week.

Maurice Lamar, 55, of Springfield Township has been charged in the murder of Willie Lindsey and is in custody, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Lindsey, 53, was found shot to death at 10:03 a.m. Friday inside an abandoned apartment in the 7700 block of Clovernook Avenue.

Lamar's arrest came nearly a day after 56-year-old Mark Edwards of North Avondale was arrested late Wednesday at the sheriff’s office headquarters on Hamilton Avenue, according to his arrest slip.

Lamar is facing one count of aggravated murder and a date for his initial appearance in court has not yet been set.

Edwards faces an aggravated murder charge, according to his arrest report. He was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center just before 1 a.m. Thursday and a judge has set his bond at $100,000, online jail records show.
