A 40-year-old Oak Island, North Carolina man was charged early Sunday morning with the Southport Yacht Basin shooting, which left three people dead and five injured (down from eight), with the suspect facing 13 felony charges, including first-degree murder and attempted murder.
Nigel Max Edge, 40, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted first-degree murder, and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill or cause serious injury.
According to warrants obtained by the North Carolina Beat, Edge used a short-barrel AR rifle with a suppressor, folding stock, and sight during the incident.
He is currently being held without bond at the Brunswick County Jail.
Of note, Nigel Edge was formerly known as Sean William DeBevoise, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran before changing his name in November 2023 according to North Carolina court records.
Warrants list Edge’s address as NW 10th Street in Oak Island. Google Images of his home on that street show a photo of a boat with the words ‘Game On’ written on the side near the bow.
Nigel Max Edge's cases, such as 7:2024cv01086, allege a conspiracy linked to events like as the Iraq War and Abu Ghraib, which the plaintiff claims was developed from an Epstein p*do ring managed by the authorities responsible for the "Attacks on 9/11".
