A Mississippi man was denied bond in the May 2022 murder case of a 45-year-old community activist inside Clinton home.

55-year-old William Ervin Edwards, also known locally as “The Cipher” and “Napolean,” was denied bond Wednesday in the alleged murder of a community activist. Edwards plead not guilty in September.

Edwards faces one count of first-degree murder by deliberate design and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

He is accused of shooting and killing 45-year-old Robert Davis earlier this year.

Investigators said Davis had been shot at least eight times, and believe Edwards shot and killed Davis at the home of a woman both men knew.

After the shooting, Edwards ran from law enforcement and was captured in New Orleans.

Edwards built a following on social media through his show, “The Cipher Voice.”
