With heavy hearts, the community is mourning the loss of Brice Lajuan Edwards, 49, who tragically lost his life on Monday night, November 3, 2025, following a fatal vehicle crash in Midwest City, Oklahoma. His sudden passing has left his family, friends, and loved ones heartbroken, remembering a man whose presence brought warmth and laughter to those around him.
According to reports, the tragic series of events began around 8:12 p.m. when Oklahoma County dispatch received a call regarding an assault and vehicle theft in Harrah. Not long after, officers spotted a vehicle matching the description traveling south on Sooner Road. When the driver, later identified as Brice, refused to stop, a police pursuit began, stretching through residential neighborhoods and onto SE 15th Street as officers worked to bring the chase to a safe end.
Authorities say officers eventually used a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) maneuver in an attempt to stop the pursuit. The action caused Brice’s vehicle to collide with another car near 8500 SE 15th Street. Emergency responders rushed to the scene and immediately began performing life-saving measures. Brice was transported to a nearby hospital, but despite all efforts, he was pronounced deceased shortly after arrival. The driver of the other vehicle sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
The Midwest City Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office have launched a joint investigation into the events that led to the crash. As officials work to piece together what happened, those who knew Brice are left struggling to process the loss of a man they describe as kindhearted, funny, and full of life. His friends say he was someone who always looked out for others and had an uplifting spirit that could brighten even the darkest days.
Brice was more than just a name in a news report — he was a beloved son, father, brother, and friend. Those closest to him say he faced life’s challenges with resilience and carried a heart full of compassion. His laughter, his stories, and his gentle strength will be remembered forever by those who loved him most.
As his family mourns this unimaginable loss, they ask for prayers, privacy, and understanding during this difficult time. Though his journey ended far too soon, Brice’s spirit will continue to live on through the love he gave and the memories he leaves behind.
