Brunswick County District Attorney Jon David confirmed Edge was heavily armed, carrying a short-barreled AR rifle equipped with a suppressor, folding stock, and scope. “This was a planned, targeted act of violence,” David said.

From Red Carpet to Courtroom
Long before the Southport tragedy, Edge—then known as Sean DeBevoise—made headlines for his public appearance with Kellie Pickler at the CMT Awards in 2012. Wearing his Marine uniform and accompanied by his service dog Rusty, Edge praised the singer: “She is the most sincere person I know. She is an angel.”
The two had reportedly met at a charity event for veterans who had been wounded in combat. They reportedly only had one date.
In 2025, Edge filed more than a dozen lawsuits against Oak Island Police, Generations Chruch, Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center, and singer Kellie Pickler.
Edge filed a bizarre lawsuit earlier this year, accusing Pickler of attempting to poison him at the 2012 awards show. According to the New York Post, he claimed she offered him a “tainted glass of Jim Beam whiskey,” which he refused to drink. The case was later dismissed.
