=== The Shooting ===
On April 7, 2021, police began to receive 911 calls at about 4:45 p.m. EDT.  A neighbor called after hearing gunshots, as did the manager of a repair company, who said that two of his employees had been shot.  Responding police officers found two repairmen in the yard of the home, one of them dead. Police later found evidence at the scene that tied Adams to the shooting


Around 9:00 p.m. EDT, police surrounded Adams' parents' house. They then spent several hours negotiating with Adams, and sent in a robot to scan the house. Adams' parents were evacuated from the house, and police found Adams dead inside. Police found both a .45-caliber handgun and a 9mm gun inside the house.
