Mother Charged After Confronting Daughter's Killer

Darci Bass confronted Matthew Edgar, the accused killer of her daughter Livye Lewis, in a Texas convenience store, leading to an emotional and tumultuous encounter where she shouted, 'You killed my daughter!' and physically attacked him. Livye, 19, was found dead from a rifle shot to the neck on Halloween 2020, and Bass learned of her death through a friend rather than the police. During the confrontation, Bass expressed her anguish and rage, ultimately resulting in her being charged with assault, although the charges were later dropped. Edgar had been found at the crime scene in a fetal position, bloodied but unharmed, and claimed to have no memory of the events leading up to the tragedy. He was ultimately convicted of murder and sentenced to 99 years in prison after evading capture for nearly a year. The investigation revealed that Livye likely knew her killer, as indicated by the position of her body at the crime scene.
