Gulfport woman pleads guilty to murder of ex-boyfriend
SUMMARY: A Gulfport woman, Edna Charlene Rivers, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the shooting of her ex-boyfriend, Kendray Stallworth, after initially attempting to conceal the crime. Stallworth was shot due to Rivers’ anger over his tardiness, and she dropped him off at a hospital on October 26, 2022. Evidence found at her home, including shell casings, led to her confession. Stallworth died two days later from a gunshot wound. Rivers received a 40-year sentence, with 20 years suspended and an additional 10 years for tampering with evidence, totaling 30 years in prison.
