On December 19, 2021, 19-year-old Adam Boone Williams was shot and killed in his bedroom in a Mesa, Arizona home near Baseline Road and Val Vista Drive. A 911 call placed shortly after noon was made by Adam’s father, Jeffrey Williams, who reported that he had shot his son. Officers say Jeffrey surrendered without a struggle and directed them to Adam’s bedroom. Adam was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries.

Authorities classified the incident as related to domestic violence. Police reports note Jeffrey had expressed concerns about Adam’s mental health, saying Adam had depression and bipolar disorder and had not been taking prescribed medication, which allegedly contributed to prior behavioral health issues. Adam was born June 11, 2002, was a 2020 Gilbert High School graduate planning to attend Chandler Gilbert Community College, and enjoyed swimming, basketball, working on cars, and playing acoustic guitar.

Does anyone who knew Adam or his family have information that could help clarify what happened that day?
