In the early morning darkness of December 6, 2006, 23-year-old Juma Adams was shot and killed on the unit block of 46th Place NE in Washington, D.C. Officers responding to reports of shots fired found Adams lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds; emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. The attack occurred around 5:10 a.m., a predawn hour when few people were outside and initial canvassing produced little information about who fired the shots or why he was targeted.

Adams was a husband and father, remembered as the spouse of Nancy Lisa and the father of Keon and Juma Jr., and part of a large extended family. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Branch handled the investigation and the department issued a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone in the community have information that could help bring justice for Juma Adams?
