The criminal complaint states, a witness saw Edwards and Carr arguing with Jordan on the W.

As Carr went over the side and jumped into the river to help Jordan.
A Milwaukee police officer arrived shortly and threw a life preserver attached to a rope at the men on the river. Carr was able to grab the preserver, but Jordan went under. Firefighters later recovered the body from the river, according to the complaint.
Both Edwards and Carr are facing up to 12 years in prison and $25,000 in fines each, if convicted.
