On November 19, 2017, 16-year-old Reginald Adams was shot and killed at the Town Square Apartments in Converse, Texas. Adams had told his family he planned to meet people at the apartment complex where he lived; shortly after, witnesses heard at least two gunshots and saw a red four-door Dodge drive away. Adams was found with a gunshot wound to the head and died at the scene despite paramedics’ efforts.

Converse police arrested 30-year-old David Martinez II after tracking him through surveillance video and witness information. Martinez confessed, saying the shooting occurred during a drug deal that turned into a robbery. Investigators reported finding Adams’ blood inside Martinez’s car and say Martinez led them to the hidden murder weapon and another firearm. Authorities expected to make additional arrests, as police said multiple people had been involved in the drug transaction.

Anyone who knew Reginald, was at Town Square Apartments that night, or has information about the people seen there is asked to come forward.
