Marcus T. Edwards allegedly shoplifted lunch meat from a Hy-Vee grocery store in Lantern Park Plaza. He then fled and was arrested about a block away at around 8:30 p.m. Edwards reportedly became unresponsive soon after arriving at the police station and was pronounced dead at a hospital. Johnson County Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Scheckel said Edwards died from erythrocyte sickling-related collapse associated with exertion-induced complication of sickle cell trait, and that his death was accidental.
