Original post:
Earlier this morning, Kenedy Police Officers responded to a report of a vehicle crashing into the property that remains of the Humble Cafe at the corner of Escondido Street and Victoria Street.
The driver, identified as Derrick Edwards (photograph below), fled the scene on foot and was last seen in the area of St. Mary’s Street and Booe Street. Citizens have reported that he may be carrying a hatchet. This notice is being shared to keep the community informed and aware, not to cause alarm.
If you see this individual, do not approach him and contact the Kenedy Police Department at 830-583-2225 or the Karnes County Sheriff’s Office at 830-780-3931, option 1.
