Takeria Adderly, a 22-year-old Uber driver from Lakeland, Florida, was reported missing on June 30, 2020. Her body was found July 29, 2020, in a wooded area near the 2000 block of West Bella Vista Street. The Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide, noting a single gunshot wound to the back of the head.

Investigators later identified 22-year-old Ladevon Cottingham as a suspect. He was indicted on two first-degree murder charges and accused in the killings of Adderly and 65-year-old gas station clerk Ricky Kimball, who was reported missing the same day Adderly disappeared and whose body was found July 2, 2020. Authorities say phone records and surveillance footage tied Cottingham to both deaths; his DNA was reportedly found in Adderly’s vehicle, which was abandoned on July 7, 2020. Cottingham was arrested in August 2020 on an unrelated armed home invasion charge and has been in custody since.

Friends and family remembered Adderly as vibrant and willing to help others. Does anyone have information about Adderly’s movements in Lakeland in late June and early July 2020?
