Donna Adams, 79, was found dead in her Northport, Alabama, home on 28th Street on November 19, 2023, the victim of a fatal gunshot wound. Her husband, 80-year-old Gerald Adams, was at the scene when officers arrived around noon.

According to investigators, Gerald Adams contacted family and a friend to tell them what he had done; those people alerted police. Donna had been living with a long-term illness and family members said Gerald had been her primary caregiver and appeared overwhelmed by those responsibilities. Police say there was no evidence of an argument prior to the shooting. Gerald Adams was taken into custody by the Northport Police Department and the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit and charged with murder; he was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail and held without bond under Aniah’s Law. He declined to give a statement to investigators.

If anyone knew Donna or saw her and Gerald in Northport in the weeks before November 19, what details might help investigators or shed light on their situation?
