On September 4, 2026, Jeff Edmond was sentenced to 18-40 years in state prison for the murder of Ledomperignon "Lele" Eady, which occurred on October 30, 2024. Edmond was convicted of 3rd Degree Murder in June.
The Erie County District Attorney's Office worked closely with the Erie Police Department to bring Edmond to justice. Through a thorough investigation, detectives were able to gather crucial evidence, including videos from multiple sources, which showed Edmond chasing Lele before the incident and attacking the victim viciously and mostly single-handedly.
The prosecution team, led by Chief Deputy District Attorney Jeremy Lightner and Assistant District Attorney Brendan Sala, commended the Erie Police Department for their diligent efforts in the initial investigation. The successful collaboration between law enforcement agencies ensured that Edmond, who has an extensive criminal history, was held accountable for his actions.
The District Attorney's Office is committed to seeking justice for victims and their families. This sentence brings closure to the community and serves as a reminder that those who commit violent crimes will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
