On April 28, 2023, at about 12:30 p.m., deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded to a reported shooting in the 5600 block of Broussard Circle in Orange, Texas. They found 23-year-old Isaac Adams near the edge of the roadway with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. Adams was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont and died of his injuries on April 29, 2023.

A 19-year-old from Orange, Jaden Williams, was detained at the scene and identified as the alleged perpetrator after an apparent disturbance between Adams and Williams shortly before the shooting. Williams was originally booked on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; after Adams died the charge was upgraded to murder and bond was set at $1 million.

A guilty plea and sentence were later entered in the case.
