David Adams, 50, was one of three people shot to death in Fort Worth, Texas, with his death dated May 28, 2014. He was found days after the shootings along with Elizabeth Sessums and Ronney Jackson.

Adams had served 10 years in the U.S. Navy. He was survived by his mother, Kathleen Hood; father, Henry Q. Adams and wife Frances; brother Joe Adams and wife Tish; sisters Terry Jones and Jeffrey Yauger; brothers Phil Yauger and Casey Yauger; uncle Clive Pickering; and extended family in the U.S. and England. A memorial service was held June 10, 2014, at Greenwood Chapel in Fort Worth, with a graveside service planned later at Weldon Cemetery.

Authorities arrested Billy Minkley Jr. in Graham, Texas, and he confessed to the triple homicide; investigators sought capital murder charges. Reports also tie Minkley to the May 2014 killing of Leah Martin.
