Gregg Adamec was fatally shot on the evening of June 16, 2002, while walking on the 5000 block of Voltaire Street in San Diego. A witness heard a gunshot and found Adamec lying on the sidewalk; he had been shot once in the face at close range. The assailant was seen standing over the body, described as a white male with dark hair wearing dark clothing, who then fled on a bicycle east on Voltaire and south on Bacon Street.

Two months before the killing Adamec had been the victim of a burglary and arson, an incident investigators have considered potentially connected to the homicide, but no definitive motive has been established. The San Diego Police Department’s cold case and homicide units continue to seek information and have solicited community tips and offered rewards in hopes of identifying the shooter.

If anyone has memories of that neighborhood that night or information about the earlier burglary and arson, please contact the San Diego Police Department Homicide Unit.
