On the night of February 6, 2015, James Adams, 54, was fatally shot at a house he was renovating on Barnard Street near West 43rd Street in Savannah, Georgia. Police were called at 10:44 p.m.; Adams was taken to a hospital where he died. His roommate, who was at the residence and later released after giving a statement, told Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police that the incident began as a robbery. The roommate described the intruder as a Black male who left the scene after shooting Adams.

The suspect’s identity remains unknown and key questions about motive and opportunity appear unresolved. If anyone knew James, the renovation project, or saw activity near Barnard and West 43rd on the night of February 6, investigators would welcome information.
