GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- A man cleared of a fatal shooting because it was self-defense was convicted Friday of a misdemeanor count for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit at the time, and was fined $400.

Jaylene Edwards was not charged in connection with the Nov. 14, 2021 shooting of Dominique Wilson outside an east-side convenience store after prosecutors determined it was self-defense.

Edwards, 27, pleaded no contest to the one count Friday.

Edwards has since gotten a permit for carrying weapons, the judge said.

On Jan. 14, Brown County District Attorney David Lasee said in a news release that Wilson went to her vehicle and got a loaded handgun. Surveillance video showed her pointing the gun at others nearby and trying to fire it at people who were fighting. While this was going on, Edwards, who was there with friends and family members, shot and killed Wilson. Edwards said he shot Wilson out of fear she would start shooting everyone else.

According to the criminal complaint, after the shooting, police asked Edwards about the Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun.

“Edwards indicated he bought it two weeks ago off the streets of Milwaukee and that he bought it for protection. Edwards stated the gun was on his right hip and was concealed under his coat. Edwards stated he does not have a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit,” the complaint states.
