SEDGWICK COUNTY— Law enforcement authorities are investigating a deadly 2014 shooting after another man was previously charged.

On Sunday, police arrested 57-year-old James Leon Edwards on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of Nathaniel Jackson, according to the Sedgwick County booking report. His bond is set at $500,000.

Michael Davis was originally charged with first-degree murder in Jackson’s death. Prosecutors say the killing happened while in the commission of an inherently dangerous felony — a cocaine sale, an aggravated robbery or both. Edwards was listed as a witness for the prosecution.

The case was ultimately dropped at the request of prosecutors in January 2015, and Davis was released from jail. Edwards has past weapon, theft, battery and robbery convictions.
