Car’s “little black box” may help in Portsmouth police shooting case
Posted on Apr 14, 2009
Two men in a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu were killed after an altercation with Portsmouth police last Thursday night. The incident occurred during an undercover drug investigation and both men died after being shot by police.
According to a Chesapeake Circuit Court search warrant affidavit, the victim driving the car, Demetrius D. Edens, 28, reversed into a police vehicle and then drove forward, hitting a Portsmouth police officer. Edens pinned the officer between his car and a second police car.
Police officers then shot and killed Edens and his passenger, Darren S. Wilson, 25. According to the Virginia State medical examiner’s office Edens died of multiple gunshot wounds to his neck and chest and Wilson died of a gunshot wound to the head.
The officer pinned between two vehicles was treated at a hospital and discharged. Chesapeake police investigating the incident seized the “black box” from the victim’s vehicle to aid in the investigation. Investigators hope information in the device will help with understanding what happened when the two men were killed.
