BALCH SPRINGS, Texas — The second suspect in the shooting deaths
of two Subway sandwich shop workers turned himself in to
authorities Tuesday morning after his mother helped him
negotiate with police.
Kirk Darnell Edwards, 32, surrendered the day after his cousin
Terry Darnell Edwards, a 28-year-old former employee at the
shop, was arrested after allegedly disposing of a gun in a trash
bin near the restaurant.
Arrest warrants for the men alleged two counts of capital
murder.
Two men entered the sandwich shop Monday as it was opening, shot
and killed the manager, Tommy Walker, 34, and an employee,
Mickell Goodwin, a 26-year-old mother of two.
Both Dallas residents were shot in the upper torso, and the men
fled with about $3,000, Balch Springs Police Chief Ed Morris
said. He said police found three spent cartridges.
Kirk Edwards turned himself in to the Dallas Police Department
about 11 a.m. Tuesday.
“I believe that his mother was very instrumental in having him
turn himself in,” Morris said.
Terry Edwards, an ex-convict, was fired from the Subway about a
month ago. He was arrested after he was seen dumping a gun into
a trash bin next to a cafeteria across the street from the
sandwich shop in suburban Balch Springs.
Police said they found a .380-caliber hand gun in the trash bin.
Morris said he didn’t know why Terry Edwards was fired but said
the motive for the killings appeared to be robbery.
“We believe there is no other indication except for pure
robbery,” he said.
Terry Edwards was jailed on two probable cause capital murder
arrest warrants. His bond was set at $1 million on each count.
He was transported Tuesday to the Dallas County jail, where Kirk
Edwards also was to be taken after interviews by Balch Springs
investigators.
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said Terry Edwards was
sentenced in November 1997 to concurrent five-year terms for
theft in 1992 and for possession of coke in 1997 with intent to
deliver. He was released from prison on Oct. 1, 1999 and was to
remain on parole until Aug. 14.
Walker, who was 6-foot, 350 pounds, was an ordained minister who
had planned to leave the Subway job and open his own tattoo
parlor soon, family members said.
“He was a big teddy bear,” said Walker’s wife, Beth. “He was
famous for making people laugh. His kids and grandkids were his
life. He got himself ordained so he could preside at his own
kids’ weddings.”

Texas Man Convicted in 2 Slayings at Subway Shop Set to Die
Wednesday, January 25, 2017
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Terry Edwards was seen holding a gun
when fleeing from a suburban Dallas Subway sandwich shop after a
robbery where two workers were fatally shot. He was spotted
ditching the weapon in a trash can nearby and was carrying more
than $3,000 in a Subway bag when he was arrested a short time
later.
Thursday evening, Edwards, 43, is set for lethal injection for
the slaying of 26-year-old Mickell Goodwin more than 14 years
ago. The shop’s 34-year-old manager, Tommy Walker, also was
gunned down in the holdup. Evidence showed Edwards worked at the
store and was fired weeks earlier for stealing money from the
register. No one else was inside the shop at the time of the
shooting.
He will be the second Texas inmate executed this year and the
third nationally.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late Wednesday rejected an
appeal from Edwards that sought to delay his execution.
At the time of the killings, Edwards, a father of four, was on
parole. He was released in October 1999 after prison time for
car theft and possession with intent to deliver coc*ine.
Evidence showed two men walked into the Subway store in Balch
Springs, about 15 miles southeast of downtown Dallas, shortly
after it opened on July 8, 2002. Goodwin and Walker were each
shot in the head at close range as the place was robbed.
Walker, an ordained minister, had seven children and
stepchildren. Goodwin was mother of two daughters.
People in an adjacent dental office in the shopping strip heard
the gunshots and called 911. Police responded in time to see two
men running away, and an officer saw one of them throw something
into a trash can across the street. It later would be identified
as the murder weapon, a .380-caliber semi-automatic handgun.
The second man, his cousin, Kirk Edwards, turned himself in to
police a day after the shootings. He had previous convictions
and prison terms for burglary and theft and now is serving 25
years for aggravated robbery for the sandwich shop case.
