Adam Mowatt, 39, was shot at a residence on the east side of Polson, Montana, on the morning of November 6, 2025. He was found with a gunshot wound at a home near Fifth Street East and 15th Avenue East, taken to St. Joseph Medical Center and later pronounced dead. His obituary records a December 1985 birth and his November 2025 death in his hometown.

Police initially detained two people at the scene; investigators later identified 33-year-old Ashley Whitmore as the primary suspect. Whitmore was taken into custody at the scene and has been formally charged with deliberate homicide. She is being held at the Lake County Detention Facility. Law enforcement said multiple agencies responded and offered condolences to Mowatt’s family, but have released few details about motive or any relationship between Mowatt and Whitmore.

Friends and family remember Mowatt as loving, caring, helpful and fun, noting he enjoyed dancing and singing. Does anyone in the Polson area have information about Adam or what happened that morning?
