Keitron Demos Adams was 21 when he was shot and killed the night of April 13, 2025, in the 2100 block of Hobson Road in Fort Wayne. He suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Allen County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide. His killing was counted as the 11th homicide in Allen County that year.

The same shooting left another man critically wounded; that victim was taken to a local hospital with gunshot injuries. Investigators have not released public details about what led to the shooting. The subsequent investigation identified a person of interest and, on April 14, 2025, 33-year-old Shontrel Bright was arrested in the 1900 block of Hobson Road and charged with Adams’s murder and the attempted murder of the other victim. Bright was already on probation for a prior aggravated battery conviction and faces an additional separate felony charge.

Anyone who was in the Hobson Road area that night or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
